I got a new computer for Christmas. I have been signed up since 2004 and my long in is long gone. I want to keep my

name and number of posts. How do I do that? I never sign out because I am afraid I will not be able to sign in.

1. Hi Debm

if your old computer is bootable, open your browser and get your login and password from that...

2. What browser have you been using?

Firefox has a menu option to display saved logins; on the saved login for DU, there is a button to 'Copy' the password. Click that, then open a text editor (like Wordpad) and paste it into a document, That will display it in plain text. I can't speak for other browsers, but if you poke around, you might be able to find something similar.

3. Maybe ask the administrators for help, Earl or someone?

I'd suggest doing a hex scan of the copied password entries but a lot of times, this is scrambled anyways.

5. Husband thinks he wrote it down on password list. I'll check and get back to you Thanks.

4. Examine the login screen closely

there should be "lost password?" as well as "lost ID?"

Most sites allow you to supply just one vital to get a reset button. It might ask for your email to send a reset link. That's getting to be pretty normal on sites.

6. I hate to say this but where is the log in screen?

7. You have to logout to get there, or just use your new computer instead of the old one

There's a signin button on the upper right of the home screen when you're not logged in.

And yes, there's a link for "forgot password?" as well as "forgot username?"

Might want to use the automatic password and login generator in firefox or similar. They can even be synced to other devices like a smart phone or another computer
