h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Welcome to the wonderful world of H2G2. If you get stuck and DONT PANIC cannot help then post in one of the forums of http://www.h2g2.co./A214796 and someone there should be able to lend a hand. If even they cannot help then give a yell from this forum and I will render aid to the most of my meagre ability . So read, write, post and enter guide enteries for submission. Hmmm you must be a Mark III Cobra (the Mark I is ancient and the Mark II had a design flaw in its hull.........though you now think I am speaking gibberish, there is logic behind it.....honest guv.) Well Bye

Hi Cob, nice to get enforcements to the scandinavian team. Some of the people around here are setting up a "language clinic" over at www.h2g2.com/A223714, and I'm sure they'd like a little help with the swedish.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I do have a tiny problem. I can´t seem to change my password. I´ve tried and tried and tried, but it´s no use, it won´t work. Can you help?

Please!

This is just an off-the-wall guess.. But did you let it set a cookie?

And I second the welcome-to-h2g2!

erhm... How did I do that? heh! I´m new at this website stuff, so I don´t know what happens.

In that case, chances are the answer is yes, since most browsers, as far as I know, default to allowing cookies silenty.

Hmm.. Okay.. I just tested this. Though the page that you come back to after changing your password -looks- the same (same number of *'s) it has changed. (Or at least it did for me.) Try this:

Enter your new password in both boxes, exactly the same (case counts, so I5t4 is different than i5T4) -- Maybe by typing it into a text editor (notepad) then copying it into both boxes to be sure it's right (leave the editor open).

logout with the button in the goo of the same name ("logout").

When you come back, you'll have to enter your email address (that you signed up under... check your welcome email if you're unsure) and your new password.

Let me know if it works for you.

Nope didn´t work. I´ll just have to live with it I guess.

Hrmmm... I don't suppose you could be a bit more specific on what you're doing on which page and what response you are getting?

About the password bit, upon my page that Doesn´t work .

That's weird. I tried changing my PW, logging out and back in, just to check. No problems at all.

Not sure if this will help, but the cookies option is throwing me in this direction - check the system clock. if it's not set to the current date, it could cause a conflict here.

Just to verify,,,,

Do you click on [my details] from your home page, change your password in the password box, re-enter this new password in the confirm box, then hit update?

Yes thats basically what i do... Is there another way??

Just wondering if you're still having problems with this?

I wonder how this wound up over here.
