EQ Launcher Connection failure PLEASE HELP

[Henreh123]

Cannot launch Eq from .exe file. It says there is a connection failure and to contact sony support. I looked up the issue and found this info
Here goes:
1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in STEP (2). Select Properties.
4) In the Properties MENU that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v27, found here (http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv27.zip).
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org (http://www.eqemulator.org/).
12) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.

Few problems here:
1. "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces
(Not too sure what this even means, but when I tried following the instructions it says the info is not valid and would not allow me to make changes. I tried to alter the text in many ways and nothing happened).
2. 5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.

(When i tried this it says in pop window access denied with only one option "okay")...

3. 8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v27, found here (http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv27.zip).

(The link did not work, but then again it would be useless to do if I couldn't complete the previous steps).

I also cannot retrieve my old account information. I tried every email address that I have and none of them were recognized. Does anyone know how to retrieve account info (Password) with other information?

Can anyone provide me with a link to the latest patch and any usefull information. Or just a completely different approach to this issue that is some what more simple? Please help, thanks!!
