How do I retrieve my password?

Post by MaryAnn »

I cannot post from any computer other than my home computer because what I remember my password to be is said to be incorrect. So, I got into Tubenet here at home on and went into the control panel, but IT DOES NOT TELL ME MY PASSWORD. I cannot change my password without putting in the old one, and of course I don't KNOW the old one.

Pardon the yelling but I am frustrated. HOW do I find out what my freakin' password is?

Which web browser are you using? Off hand, I don't know how web browsers store passwords but it sound like an interesting problem to solve.

MA: The board does anticipate this problem by giving you the option to reset your password.

Go to the Login screen. ie:

Login
Username: □□□□□□□□□□
Password: □□□□□□□□□□
I forgot my password

□ Log me on automatically each visit
□ Hide my online status this session

If you click the "I forgot my password" option, the board will reset it to something random and then send that new password to your registered eMail, where you can use it to get in and set it to something better.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
