Hi…

This may seem like a bit of a strange request.

A friend of mine whose username on this forum is

Glass Onion

recently bought a new PC, and he was cookied here, and never needed to “Sign In” he was just remembered everytime he came back, and automatically got signed in.

Now with his new pc, and no Cookies to speak of, he cannot gain access, as the Email address he used to register was a college address, which has ceased to exist.

Put simply, because he was cookied, he forgot his password, and cannot sue the password retrieval feature of this forum.

Is there any way to help?

Please???

He needs to email one (or better yet, several) of the administrators, who can then reset his password. **TubaDiva** ’s email address can be found in the FAQ thread.
