Forgot password
« on: June 14, 2009, 01:53:47 AM »
Hi,
   This is embarassing. I have forgotten the forum password, I think I have 'cause I tend to use a group of passwords I've memorized.... not very secure I know.. and the old version of my opera browser logged me in every time with the site cookie, recently I installed the latest version 10, visited the forum and my password wouldn't work, I tried all of my usual passes, then tried the "forgot password' link a few times, never got the e-mail. Finally had to copy the cookies file from the older opera I'd backed up, and here I am.  So, how do I reset the password now?

I remembered that the password here in the forum should have atleast one Upper Case letter?

In my case, in logging-in here again in the forum, i tried my one and only password and it said password error. Then I remembered that one the letter in my password is a capital letter. Hehe.

@stfly: have you checked your spam/junkmail?

@peter524: hey thanks for reminding me of the uppercase letter, you know I checked my profile's password change page for a hint but it wasn't there, I'm gonna open IE and try my usual password with the first letter in caps.

@F4E: I just checked my spam, its not there, actually the first time I requested a password reset email about a week ago, then yesterday. Maybe its a bug. and speaking of bugs, the notification email for this topic had a small but glaring error, it was signed "The The Water Seven Community Team".
  And since I have your attention :), I just pm'ed you about my account revival. Hope you received the message.

@peter524: Alright, I needed a number and an uppercase character in the password. Hey thanks for helping out.   Still, I think we need to check out that pass reset email problem. Some members could end up being locked out of the forum since new registrations are on hold.

I am really humbled by what you folks do here voluntarily. All I can say is thanks, and even though I hate to post, I'll make it a point to start now, I have some meaningful stuff I can write about here. Hope you guys like glam metal :)  No really, it'll be about software I find indispensable and movies, might even keep a blog on my page.

The registration and mailing function must be working by now.

I've checked the new registration page and its working fine. The mailing function I didn't verify because I remember my password now.

@Efil: I've been getting these really random errors all day when visiting the forum, ranging from "template not found" to "Not Found  The requested URL /community/news-and-announcements/ was not found on this server."
  I'm receiving these like right now.

It's because I'm currently editing the forum templates and codes. It will be through when I'm finished putting back the previous design of our forum.
