password reset?? legit

R.O.I. · 07-27-2009, 03:30 AM

when logging in a few seconds ago there was a request to rest my pass word. apparently everyone in the forum has to.. was it legit or a scam?

nothing in forum news

Did you mean you get an email for resetting your password? It's weird, better to forward it to admins

Frank Ayres · 07-27-2009, 03:48 AM

I wasnt asked to when i logged in

flamingleaf8 · 07-27-2009, 03:59 AM

i usually get it, when i enter the wrong password. but no message when i get it right.

That's the message you'll get if entering either wrong username or password, if you do it right, there's should be no problem

so to answer your initial question, it's legit

Frank Ayres · 07-27-2009, 04:19 AM

it just means you entered the wrong username and/or password

not so sure myself - I've had to reset my password several times and I'm not that bad at remembering a userid & password!

That is the message you get when you enter the wrong username or password.

I think the message hasn't been updated since the switch to the new forum.

I wish it would just say you entered the wrong username or password instead of the old message about all passwords being reset.

But, at any rate, that is the message you'll see if you enter something wrong.

I've seen it often enough...

OK. I must be getting senile then I suppose.
