Proboards Admin Password Reminder Thing

[rainyafternoon]

Um, yeah. So I posted on proboards support and they restored my site, but in doing so said this:

The board has been restored

You will need to request a password reminder to obtain the new password i have set for the admin account. I would also like you to read the information on thje following site, and update your passwords and security measures on your online accounts (not just ProBoards) accordingly:

safetynet.proboards.com

I would also recommend never sharing an account with someone.

So what am I supposed to do? If I wasn't supposed to post here, SORRY. T.T

I'm just a little stressed about getting a password?

Apologies for delay in replying.

If you haven't regained your password as of now, when you go to log in, on the right side of the login box, "Forgotten password?" You will be prompted to enter either your username or your email address to recover your password, which will be sent to the email address on file.

If you have regained your password and need to change it, please view this thread:
safetynet.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=3
A password generator is linked from that thread. I strongly recommend using the "Complicated" setting, with no less than 8 characters. Be sure you can remember the password.
To change the password on your account profile, go to Profile >> Modify Profile >> at the top are two text boxes. Type in the new password in both boxes, and save your profile. Log out then log back in (using the new password), and your new password is working.


In future, I need to ask that you post your Support-related questions in the ProBoards Support board. Not only will this get around such delays, but SafetyNet is not a ProBoards Support site.
Thank you.
