Password problem

[Radaghast]

[size=1]I have recently had a problem with changing my password. Here's what my problem is:

I hooked up my new computer to the internet. It has all the same sites on it, but when I go back to those sites, I'm logged out. So I put in my passwords for the sites, but I forgot my password for the OB. I go to the 'forgot your password' link, type in my e-mail address, but I never get the e-mail.

I run the OB through Internet Explorer, because AOL alone won't let me on the this site for some wierd reason. Could the reason be that I'm typing in my AOL address when I'm in Internet Explorer?

I always used the "auto-log in" option, so I never had to type in my password.

And for those of you who are thinking "How are you posting this right now?" I'm running on my old computer.[/size]

I know how you feel, when ever mine gets reset I spend awhile typing away until I get the password that works.

On your old computer you can change your password in your profile; it is the simplest way to do it. It should, not sure about IE, auto enter your old password into the "enter old password" box allowing you to put your new one into the "new password" box in your preferences. If you can't work out where it is I think there is a section in the faq that guides you to it.

[size=1]*grins* Do you know, I had [i]exactly[/i] the same problem only yesterday. My computer had to go in for a complete re-installation, so all my cookies were very screwed up. The e-mail wasn't sending for me, and I couldn't get into OB at all.

So I spoke to James, and he said he'd e-mail me the password -- he can do that. But that e-mail didn't come either. In the end, James went in and changed the password and told me the new one, so I could get in and then change it to whatever I want.

[size=1]Would he possibly be willing to go through that hassle for me?

And cloricus, I wasn't refering to the auto-complete feature that you can set your computer to perform. I used the user option to automatically log me in when I signed on to the internet.

I've also been running through possible passwords in my head. None of them have worked, though. I must have been stupid enough to use an inside joke or something from the moment as my password. But not any more, I have a password I always use.[/size]

Is your e-mail address up-to-date and current? If not, I will change your e-mail address and then send you a new password confirmation.

Otherwise, PM me a temporary password and I *might* change it... if I feel it is your account.
