Yes, there was a default address there before i realized i had to put in the address from my wallet.  I have it in my payout history.  not sure if it belongs to anyone or is just a randomly generated address.  Not sure how to get a hold of slush, the forums link points over here. Def. not trying to scam anyone, mined for about a month to get that 1 btc..

Well if slush doesn't have an email address I would try posting in his pool thread and send him a PM.

Before i knew what i was doing i was paid out 1.0 btc to a default address that was not in my wallet.

OK, I'll bite.  What the heck is a "default address"?

im not sure but it might be slushes.

That's what I was thinking too.  So I think I would be asking him to transfer it into the correct wallet?  Seems more productive than trying to brute force a private key anyway.

maybe but depends if the OP can prove it went to slushes wallet. slush is a pretty decent guy so if theres the proof then theres a chance but if the OP is just trying to screw money out of slush then theres no chance slush is way way to smart for that

I've just never heard of a "default address"!  That's just seems like a bizarre concept.  Why would a pool populate an account with a default address.  I don't think they would.  But hey, what do I know?

i didnt think he did but like in guiminer if you dont set up your own account you mine to the default account id imagine ut could be the same with pools.. i honestly cant remember if there was a default address when i signed up to his pool

If a private key is lost, the bitcoins are gone forever.
Theoretically, it is possible to guess the private key, but it will take quite some time : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22/is-it-possible-to-brute-force-bitcoin-address-creation-in-order-to-steal-money/3205#3205

It is impossible to generate a private key to a predetermined address.

So I've been mining with slush's pool. Before i knew what i was doing i was paid out 1.0 btc to a default address that was not in my wallet.  I have the address now in a blockchain wallet as a "watch only".  I am unable to spend it tho without the private key, can anyone tell me how i can get the private key for this address?
