 |
|
When looking at my profile, I wanted to change the email to my actual address. I don't have access to the old one anymore. The form want my current password. With the automatic login, I don't remember that f. password. But according to the forum form, it is not necessary to provide the old password in order to change it. So I changed it. And now when I try to change the email address to the current one, and provide the newly created password, the form tell me that password is not valid.
What can I do in order to be able to login the next time I want to? Or can an admin take a look at it?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Same error message (in French here) if I try to change again the password:
| Code: | | The password you gave is different from the one into the database |

Dominique_71,
email forum-mods at gentoo dot org if the email address on your account is not correct.
If it is correct any you no longer have your password, the login page has a "I have forgotten my password" link.
Please use the email address above as that reaches all the admins/mods.
If you PM or email me, you will need to wait until I'm online.
