Surely mending weasels is an honorable profession! It would be a sacristy to have that noble title relegated to the dust bin of history!

You'd better not! I will not be the lone kiltie in Albuquerque!

ith:

If the venerated highlandtide can not help, we still have hypnosis, electro-shock and sodium penathol before we give up!

What kind of a south Tejas Scot are you ensign 'Mender? Gonna let a wee little password give you a fit? is this what we expect from the guy who put the 7' bullhead shark in the Officer's pool? I think not!

Oh and if you do get it reset, you might want to make it some thing easy for older grayer and foggier heads to remember... like KILT!

I think we just discovered another 'Y chromosome trait' to go along with not reading the manual, 'push harder then', and never stopping to ask directions:

Not recording passwords!!

Firefox would never have a remember the passwords section if it wasn't.

I only just found out about it too - the idea of such a thing being devised, or even required never occured to me.

We cannot have characters dropping off the map - or X Marks, either. Ensure continuity. Write down your passwords today, before oblivion strikes.

I know from personal experience that our former co-administrator and software geek, Mike1, had a way to recover or reset passwords.

There are actually some companies that realize that Mozilla is more robust, and free, so they us it! They should have bit the bullet and gone with Linux as the OS, Open Office for an office suite and Mozilla. 0 cost and less headaches.

I recommend setting up a master password as well to help protect your saved passwords.

A sacristy??

Hey, I never thought of storing my kilts with the vestments, altar wine and communion hosts. What a great idea!!

turn it off by deselecting 'save passwords' , or use a master password to protect them

One of my favorite college professors always told me "You can't remember everything, write it down" and I do , I have two small note books at my lap top with all sorts of goodies in it, INCLUDING Passwords!
