Can't change password

Was trying to change password, typed new password twice (confirm), then got the message "The password you have entered does not match your current one. Please press the back button, enter the correct details and try again." Repeated several times, the same result.

Perhaps you failed to enter your current password correctly.

Yes, thanks, it worked. I totally missed the first line asking for current password.

Doesn't work, and I'm using the current password that BikeForums gave me. All I really wanted to do was change my contact email, and I wasn't allowed to do that without the password too. Also, I appear to have two accounts going. seedsbelize and seedsbelize2. If you could axe the second one, and inform me as to how to edit my password, I would be eternally grateful.

Can't you ask to have a new password assigned to you (forgot my password) and then change it?


PS I don't believe you can use any old passwords, most sites don't allow it. Maybe that will help.

You must have either the password to your account or access to the email address associated with it -- otherwise you cannot prove ownership of the account.

Try PMing IBjoel for a reset.
