    :bash: Yesterday I couldn't log on (from work or home).
    I used the same password I've been using for two years now.

    So, I had to do the "forgot your password" thing to get a temporary password...so I could put my original password back in. :unsure:

    So.....has this happened to anybody else? And yes, I tried several times throughout the past 36 hours, but I never could log in until I changed my password.

    It was a bug in the upgrade. Nick fixed it, though.

    Don't think anyone thought of changing their password to get around it, though.

    No. It has never been necessary for me to change your password. :borg:

    None of this "two lowercase letters, three uppercase letters, four numbers but they must be prime, two Hebrew characters, seven page down/insert
    selections" , etc. etc.

    Okay, I made an easy one for you:

    ********

    It's the same as the one I use.

    Okay, I think this has pretty much run its course.
