Depends on the error that's being given. So unless we can get more information, there's not reallly that much we can do. Also, it really should be him writing the thread and not you.

Firstly, you'll need to change the Puppets password. Then you'll need to give the NEW password to your friend. Your friend should then use the puppet's name and the puppet's password to log in on their own computer.

I am a little surprised the modly one has not already pointed to the FAQ which strongly advises the sharing of puppets...especially if you're trying to share to someone who is DoS and Permanently banned.

We have changed the password three times, but still he cant log on but I can. Also he has never played NS before so he's not banned I just never use this one anymore so Im trying to give it to him to use, so he can have a head start.

What error message is your friend getting when trying to log in?

Please be more specific about what is going wrong.

It would tell us “Error incorrect password or username” so we would go back and check the password again and enter it then it tells us “Error incorrect password or username”. So then we notice the button “Would you like to restore Mercury Militia” So we wood click restore and it would say “Error incorrect password or username” so next time we entered the password then clicked restore and AGAIN it would say “Error incorrect password or username”. So thats why I came to you guys to see if what the issue may be and for the record it will let me on, on my computer without an issue but not my friend on his computer.

If you are seeing 'would you like to restore', that means the nation you are trying to log in to has CTE (ceased to exist). Since you are posting with the nation in question, it means you are typing in the nation name wrong.

You probably accidentally typed in 'Mercury Milita' and left out the last 'i'. That is the closest CTE nation I can find.
