Can't login, password not now accepted.

I changed my O.S. to Windows 7 and now my password of 04/11/11 is not accepted.

Is this a wicked plot to get rid of me

Sorry John, but

Hi Taz, I can't log in normally, the program won't accept my password, I had to go through facebook connect .
It's been like this since before Christmas when I changed to Windows7.
You'll have to wait until next year now before I can post my bari version of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'. It was awful, with me still breathless from the radio therapy and a fantastically bad backing track (I loved it)

Next time you get in through facebook, can you go to you settings on the forum?
If you can you can set a new password there.

Tried that Trev, but to do that you have to enter your password before you can change it, and it won't accept it.

That is the way to reset a password. I can do it in the admin section, but I prefer not to meddle with passwords.

Hi Pete,
This is the sequence of events:-
In early November I received a message telling that someone had tried to access my account. So thought it would be a good idea to change my password.
On the 4th of November I requested a change of password, which was received, entered and accepted without any problem. I then pressed 'remember password', and that was the only time I entered it until after installing Windows7, whereupon it was rejected.

Hi Trimmy,
That was the first thing I looked for, but if the site has the 'FORGOTTEN Password' facility, where is it?

Try to login with an incorrect password, you get redirected to a page with a link to get the password emailed or reset.
