I Just Got My Password in an Email, But It Does Not Work ?

Serveral users have reported an issue with their password after having choosen to reset their password, having received this by email.   Here is some help for common things that can go wrong.
  • You will receive two emails to successfully reset your password.   The first contains a link which you can select to then activate to send the second email with your new password.   Some users thinking nothing was working after a seconds after clicking the first link, will click this link again then therefore recieve two emails, each with a different password.   The later email will then be your new password, as you have actually requested your password be changed twice by clicking the link twice.
  • Try to avoid copying your password from an email and type this into the password dialog box manually.   This will avoid you accidently selecting the additional space before or after your password and therefore pasting an incorrect combination of characters.   Just remember to click "save my password" so you don't have to type this each time.
