I will contact HostGator, as I just tried it and it failed all three times. Got the pop-ups, told it that I understand the risks, added an exception and it still doesn’t want to let me in.

Robert, I would send in a support ticket to Hostgator at http://gbclient.hostgator.com and ask them to reset your password.
