Ashton Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Been having issues logging in, so I reset my password. the site sent me a random mix of letters/numbers as my new password, which I used to log in, then I went to my profile to change it to something I can actually remember......but when I got there the only option was to change my email or to "set a local password" which it says is only for logging in on mobile devices...Help Please? :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 You should be able to change your password by going into "My Settings" or "Profile Settings" and then clicking on the tab at the left that is labeled "Email and Password". The password change option is at the bottom of that page. Page should look like this:If your page doesn't appear like that, clear your internet cache or try a different web browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dio Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 From what I'm reading, setting a local password will allow you to log into the boards using that password, regardless of whether you're on mobile or not. Give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Topic got buried... only now read the latest response >.<I set a local password, and it seems to be working, also now that I have done that I'm getting the normal "change password" screen... no idea what's going on, but it seems to be working so I'm not looking a gift pony in the mouth thanks for the help!
