I'm not sure it's possible to do what your asking. I've never used AOL, but I assume they can't distinguish your computer from anyone else's (it'd be amazing if they could - it would solve lots of security problems).

The best thing to do would be to change your password. At least then they can't login.

Call AOL and let them know about it.

Yea ive had other password related problems and aol were really helpful (this was about 7 years or so ago)

Aol, if they keep a log of sign ins which im sure they do, at least i thought they used to, will be able to trace the person quite easily if it continues if the unauthorised user is using a password cracker or some other methods of logging in on your screename.
