Sure.
First of all, it's fundamental to say that you need to have access to the account's associated e-mail account to do this.
It's fairly simple, peeps: whenever you're not on your account, change your password through Nexon's website to one which has special characters in it (or only consisting of them). By special characters I mean stuff like symbols (★ etc.), not *,% or so.
Once you've done that, it'll say there has been an error, but it'll change your password anyways, sending you an e-mail saying that you've done so. After that, it'll be impossible by anyone (including who knows the exact password) to enter your account, because the website will always keep refusing it.
The only way to gain access to your account back is by using the "Lost Password" form of the website, which will send a link to the account's associated e-mail, through which you'll be able to change password to a normal one that makes your account accessible again.
This has worked for me (at least until now), and should always work, unless they're using a method to make the Nexon's servers think that you've been authenticated even when you haven't, without references to the password itself, which shouldn't be excluded from the possibilities considering how many people who never gave out their infos or did strange stuff have been affected.
