Password problem...need help, please
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..

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!!!

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....

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!
