[12] WHAT IF I FORGET MY USER PASSWORD? CAN I RESET MY PASSWORD?
|
|
|
|
If you have unfortunately forgotten your user password, it can be
|
|
a bit of a pain on our behalf to figure out who you are and to
|
|
ensure that your request to 'reset' your password is legitimate.
|
|
|
|
BEFORE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR PASSWORD login to the maintenance
|
|
shell (type chfn or chsh) and select the 'set up password recovery'.
|
|
|
|
When you have forgotten your password, you can then login as 'new'
|
|
and type 'recover' (the menu option is not listed).
|
|
|
|
To disable password recovery, login to the maintenance shell and
|
|
provide an empty answer to a question.
|
|
|
|
If you have not setup recovery, you may politely (and with patience)
|
|
contact membership (at) sdf.org or send a letter to the SDF mailbox.
|
|
You may consider making a donation at that time, as it will greatly
|
|
improve your chances of getting a password 'reset'.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the password recovery mechanism is not yet
|
|
available on 'sdf-eu.org', but will be in the future.
