changing password on Rootschat.
« on: Friday 27 April 18 13:55 BST (UK) »
 I want to alter my current password by adding some numbers, RC won`t let me do it even though it already contains one of what it says here.
Have things changed since I joined ?

If you contact Sarah she should be able to help you sort the password out.

Thank Dbree ;)

Nothing has changed Wilcoxen ??? Please remember that passwords must have a minimum of 8 letters/numbers and can not be your username or email because they are not secure passwords ;)

Any problems just let me know.

Regards

Sarah

I must have forgotten my password then , because  what I thought it was doesn`t meet those requirements.

If you have forgotten your password you can request a new one, you do this by logging out and then in the box where you login your will see a button "forgotten password" if you click on this a new one will be sent to you.

OR.... As you are currently logged in you go into your profile and choose a new password, which you type in twice, the password needs to match to be accepted.
