forgotten passwd

Hi there,

I can't remember my passwd when I registered. What can I do?
I am still automatically logged in when I connect, but that only works from one computer, using one operating system and one browser. I realized there is a change passwd tab, but that requires to input your old passwd first, which I can't remember. Any help at all?

Thank you, Peter
Message Thibault via his email address at the bottom of the page "email me".
When registering, there's no 'confirm password' field.

I'm wondering how many dead accounts there are due to typos in the password.
Addendum to #2 so that people don't get the wrong idea:

Thibault cannot see your password, as it is salted (encrypted) in the database.

He can, however, change it for you. Ask him to change it to "Password1" or something and then change it immediately after you sign in to something more secure (that you will remember!).

#3: Good point, there should certainly be a password confirmation field.
