If you didn't forget your password, use ChangePassword to change it to a new one. Otherwise, use this form to get a new one e-mailed to you. Your LoginName is listed on %MAINWEB%.TWikiUsers.

%X% __Note__: you *must* have at least one valid registered e-mail to be able to reset your password. If none of your registered e-mail addresses is valid, and you have forgotten your password, contact %WIKIWEBMASTER%.

<form name="passwd" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"passwd"}%/%MAINWEB%/%HOMETOPIC%" method="post">
|  Your %TWIKIWEB%.LoginName: | <input type="text" name="LoginName" value="%URLPARAM{username}%" size="40" /> =<font color="red">**</font>= |
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="resetPassword">
<input type="hidden" name="TopicName" value="%TOPIC%" /> <input type="submit" class="twikiSubmit" value=" Request password reset " />
</form>

After submitting this form, you will receive an e-mail with your new, *system-generated* password, and a link to a page where you can change it.

If you continue to have problems, please e-mail %WIKIWEBMASTER% for help.
