Game Center has no ID and forgot password?

I know I know, I'm probably going to receive an answer I see everywhere and that is, your game center is linked with your Apple ID.

In my case it's not, I sign into my Apple ID and it's my backup account under the username "JessyWessyXD"

I remember I created this Game Center account when I was in an iPad class at my school back in 2011. Back then, I believe Game Center and ID accounts were separate. You'd sign in with your username at the time.

I even tried signing into my school iPad ID which is still the same till now and it asks me to create a nickname.

THUS, I am certain my account has no ID D:

My lost Game Center account is under the username of "PuddingInPieThingXD" , at first, I thought it wasn't a big deal that lost the account but all a sudden now, I really want to try and get it back 😟 (My Dragonvale... I miss it lol)

Problem is, nor do I remember the password, I do not believe it has an ID.

I lost my account on April 21st 2014 which was the last time I played a game on it which was Clash of Clans. For some reason, it signed out automatically. I was only able to know this because my JessyWessyXD account is friends with my PuddingInPieThingXD account (so close... but yet so far because I can't sign in)

iPad Air, iOS 9.2.1, Game Center

Hello there, JessyWessyXD.

It sounds like you have forgotten the password for your older Game Center ID. In most cases, Game Center is associated to an Apple ID. The following knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations to try:
