Default AIM Getting Hacked

OK now i know how dumb i am, i used my AIM s/n as an email adress. An email adress in which i use for my paypal.

I signed on AIM through the netscape browser one day and all went well. Apparently, this was when my internet accidently got knoked over and the connection was lost, therefore i was signed off. When i went to sign back on, it said that my password was invalid. I HAVE NOT changed my password for months and it's been the same for as long as i can remember. This issue goes further then just AIM. My AIM screen name is also used for email (omgmcgiologist@netscape.net). THIS IS THE SAME EMAIL I USE FOR PAYPAL! Now i cannot recieve emails from paypal and i cannot access my email account period.

I think my AIM got hacked and now i have NO WAY TO RETRIEVE A PASSWORD. When i click "forgot password" it emails me to the email account of the s/n in which i lost the password for!

What do i do in a case like this?

AOL allows me to submit problems but they state that i will not recieve support, and netscape's support number is not available (closed) at the time.
