When I signed up I put my user name and password. It kept saying username was already in use. I tried several different versions, same thing. Then I went back to my original username with a different password. Bingo, it took it. So I suggest you try a different password.

Oh no... That is not good. Their system is comparing passwords with others on other usernames. This should not be happening at all. Only the username same/same should trigger a refusal no matter what you or anyone else is using as a password, even if they happen to be the same. It should not be comparing passwords against each other. Only usernames against each other.
