Password
edit{{helpme}} I have sort of lost my password. I changed my password a while a go when there was incident in finland where someone revealed ~78000 passwords of finnish users. My passwords weren't on the list but I decided to change some of them, including the password of this accout here. I must have typoed twise, which is not something I'm really amazed about. I have tried every possible typo of my password that i can imagine but no luck. What can i do about this, I don't have email here so I cant get a new password that way.
- Unfortunately, if you haven't registered an email address, there is nothing that can be done to retrieve your password. Sorry. You are welcome to make a new account, however, and redirect this account's user page to your new one. This usually works for most users. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
The sign in page says that: "If your account is compromised, it may be permanently blocked unless you can prove you are its rightful owner." If nothing can be done then what does that mean? By the way, do User pages go old or something? Then I could just wait and create the accout again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.186.252.116 (talk) 22:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
