BajaNomad - Password problem...need help, please

Password problem...need help, please

motoged - 7-1-2016 at 02:33 PM

Nomads/Admin,
Last week my password did not work, so I went into my User Control Panel and followed the lost/forgot password procedure. Within seconds my e-mail had a new one (too complicated to remember) but I could login with it cut/pasted....but found I could not change it to one of my own...seems one problem was a one day-wait to enter my own p-word...so after several go arounds with admin sending new (temporary) p-words...I don't know how to enter/use a password of my own creation.

What am I not doing right?

Gracias for any help.. :?:

Decent....yes; techie....apparently not :biggrin:

Ged a techie...I think not! He did manage to post some unedited GoPro footage, and that almost got him kicked out of the SOL (Stubborn Order of Luddites).

We voted to give him a second chance, but if he starts inserting drone shots and sound tracks, he is outta here!

Obviously, I am no help with the pass word thing.

It must have something to do with the language barrier between Canadia and the 'ol USA!!!

Happy Canukdian Day!

It happened to me once before, and I have managed to retrace the steps I was given to re-set my password.

After you get your new temporary pass word, go to the user control panel again.
Select Edit Profile, and you should be able to change your password. I re-set the one I used to have (some websites won't allow that)
Good luck!

I use https://lastpass.com/ and only have to remember one password. In my line of work (a techie) I have too many passwords to manage not to have some sort of help.

The above is correct.

Ged, if it's still a problem you should send me an email.

Thx.

Thanks for all the detailed tech help...

Fifth try was the charm....not totally a language issue, for all you smart-burros.... :rolleyes:

...just a struggling and impatient Luddite.

Now, back to our regular programming: ....fish, off-road racing, real estate swindles, and storm worries

Glad you got it straightened out. My own membership in SOL is now in jeopardy for attempting to help, especially since I posted my reply in Canadian!
