I don't know about you, but I have just too many passwords!!  And guess what?  You just got another one.  The following article shows how to reset your password when you first get registered on this site (or if you forget it).  It also shows you how to set it to something that makes sense to you!

Step 1 - Resetting the password

When you go to the home page, there is a link in the login box to help you reset your password.

You will then be shown a form that you need to complete:

Complete the form as shown.  Note the "Security Code" is a human readable but machine unreadable code sued to stop web crawling robots (no, I'm not joking!!) from attempting to "complete" the form while looking at our site and sending hundreds of dummy messages!

You will get an e-mail with instructions on how to proceed.

Step 2 - Setting Your Own Password (optional)

When the password is reset, it is some random set of numbers and letters.  I find such things hard to remember (must be my advanced age), and prefer to set it to something I can remember.  To do this, click on the "View My Profile" option in the user menu.

When you do this, there is a form that allows you to things like set an avatar (a picture of yourself) and other useful things like change your e-mail and password.

Click "Update" and you're done.
