I cannot remember my password for the forum, and cannot figure out how to retrieve it. Can someone direct me to the right path? This is what happens when I let the computer remember for me!

Susan, I wasn't aware you could post without signing in.  Then again my memory is a bit foggy too :).

The problem is that I want to also open an account on another computer, and I need my password for that! I realize that I am already signed in on this computer you sillies! And I cannot change my password without remembering my password!

Susan,

If you attempt to log in on the new computer, you should see a link labelled "Forgot your password?" -- if you click on this, it will give you the opportunity to retrieve or reset your password.

To check this, I logged out of my account, then tried to log back in. One screen did not show the link, but when I clicked on the "sign in" link, it showed up.

And by the way ... it took me fifteen tries to remember what MY password was so I could log back in!! :)
