Can not retrieve my 56 Shaman

[Cinamdar]

Need help retreiving my 56 Shaman. Last played about 4 yrs ago.

I have my usr/pswd for my eqemu and project 1999.

Completed the download of Titanium and P99.

When I login to the game I am told my password is not valid.
The pswd I use is correct.

Is it possible my 56 Shaman has been erased from the server?

I did see a page that recommends I merge my forum and game login info.
I had no success doing that.

Hoping someone can provide me with some helpful input.
