The process is that a new one will be randomly generated and sent, Admins don't
have a way to know what your password is, nor should they. I think but am not
sure all your old ones are invalidated first.

Who did you try mailing before you posted? Mailing usually works, eventually.
Right now Todd hasn't set up how to reset passwords for anyone else yet (a
coding project perhaps...) so you eventually hvae to reach him somehow to get it
done.

i prommis to
save it in a word file this time.
thanks,

Better yet, once you have one setup, choose another one too, so that even if you
forget one you still have another one. The password checker has a lot of good
suggestions on how to make a secure yet remememberable password. passwords you
choose that are strong, are better than passwords some random generator chose
for you..

This message would be a lot better if I could have remembered the URL for the
password checker and the password manipulation facility easily, they're not in
obvious places. We need to add this info in more places I guess.

Ok found thenm

http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/pw/ (manipulate your existing passwords,
you have to know at least one of them)

And

http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/pwsa/ (how good is your proposed password,
is it strong enough for LUGNET?)

And

http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/password-suggestions (how to make a good
password)

Hope that helps.
