Visit http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/forgot.cgi and enter your editor name.

I've just tried that and it worked fine for me. If you get an error message or if you don't get an email with your password, please report back here.

Include your editor name and the full text of any error message.

thanks for the quick response

I get this:

Sorry, we cannot issue a password reminder to you at this time.

editor name is damiand

I'm reporting your problem to our operational staff and I'll report back here when I get any news.

Jim, just out of curiosity, why isn't the link you gave more readily available? When I "lost" my password, I had to comb thru the forum posts to find that link. Can't it be posted somewhere conspicuous?

I don't remember my editor account password. What can I do? is an entry in this forum's FAQ

I just pretended to loose my password, and tried the "help" link on http://dmoz.org/ At the bottom right of that page is an "editor accounts" link with the description "Forget your password? Login Expired?" Following that gives you the information you need. Maybe I'm just lucky...

The Old Sarge · Jan 28, 2007

Well shoot, Jim. No wonder. I was searching for "lost password."

Ok, Chaos. You got me too. Unless I claim that's too INconspicuous. lol

Next time I'm just going to keep quiet.

The Old Sarge · Jan 28, 2007

Ahem. Chaos, why did you "loose" your password? Was it too tight?

OOOPS! I forgot ... keeping quiet now.

for what its worth it's still not working.

maybe someone wants to try it for me ... my username is 'damiand'

it should then fire off an email to me

cheers

jimnoble · Jan 31, 2007

There's been no word back from ops yet. They're pretty busy people right now as I'm sure you can imagine.

jimnoble · Feb 1, 2007

You've been allocated a new password by staff and I've asked for a password reminder on your behalf. You should have received the email by now

.

Any further problems, please ask for further help in this same thread.

Editor tibor has the same problem

Sorry, we cannot issue a password reminder to you at this time.

Could you also reset her password.

jimnoble · Feb 4, 2007

I've reported it to staff.

jimnoble · Feb 5, 2007

editor tibor has been given a new password and this has been emailed to her recorded email address.
