Re: Changing passwords
You need to change it to 'password' for maximum security combined with ease of remembering.

I have forgotten my current password and so cannot change it, but I can still log on as I have an old laptop that has it stored as *************, but on my new laptop it is obviously not stored. I also have no access to my old e-mail as I have moved out of the ISP area into a BT one.

When you use your old laptop, can't you request to see the hidden password? You can also change email address in the account settings. Try changing email, then log on and go via forgot password after entering user id.
Let me know how you get on.

Re: Changing passwords
I’ve authorised the request should be fine.

In the old password box, a dropdown appears with your old password in it (in dots) with your username and a keylock symbol.
You autofill the box with the password dots and it will then all go through to admin as I was changing the e-mail as well.
Thanks.
