Reset Password

[lorus]

I have tried dozens of times to change password ,but unsuccessfully.
I seem to be doing all the right things and cannot understand where the difficulty is .
The new password I want is liesch

Which website are you trying to change your password to? (The Answerbank? A crossword-solving website? Something else?). Posting here, in 'Crosswords', doesn't tell us much!

Further telling everyone what your new password will hopefully soon be (irrespective of where you intend to use it - but particularly if it's for this actual website) would seem to negate the whole point of having a password!

Please read the replies in your previous threads -

Once again, the best thing for this type of problem is to post in "Technology" or email the Ed using the "Contact Us" option at the foot of the page.

Don't know what you are trying to change your password for but 1st rule is 'Never tell anyone your password!'

I have a feeling 'Lorus' wants to change 'user name'.

Looking at previous posts it suggests to me that lorus in fact wants to change his AB username from lorus to liesch. Only way you can do that is to re-register with a different e-mail, put your new name and stopping using this account.

Please forget about my request ,as it seems it seems to be too difficult for Answerbank to solve my problem .
I will try another website .
liesch

I know of no website that allows you to change your username (which, apparently, is what you're trying to do) while retaining all of your old data (such as your ratings on auction sites or questions and answers on sites like this one). In every case you need to register a completely NEW account, which usually means using a DIFFERENT email address.

(The Editor did, at one time, have a brief 'amnesty' whereby members could ask for their username to be changed but there is no automatic way to do it).

So if you want to become 'Liesch' on here, you'll need to get a DIFFERENT email address (e.g. at http://www.gmx.co.uk ) and register again as a new member, using your preferred choice of name.

Your old posts (using your old name) will, of course, still be here. If you've got a reason why you'd rather they weren't, simply post a message - still using your old username - to that effect and ask to be banned; then your old posts will all disappear.
