Password question
Posted by ruderunner on Friday, August 5, 2016 12:30 PM

Sigh  How does one change their password on the Kalmbach sites?  I cant find anything in the faq or under user settings.

I had a password problem a couple of months ago.  Sorted it out with the help of a very cooperative operator at the customer service phone line.  Ended up with a completely different password - and it works.

When you login you will see a green box.

welcome xxxxxxxxxxxx

logout/ update your account

 

click on "update your account"  Kalmbach will sent a reset code via e-mail.

Yes I have gotten the new password, but I'd like something I can remember rather than the random combination of numbers and letters.

I haven't done a password reset here, but most give you the opportunity to create your own password - the code is only to verify that it's you making the change.

Remember - don't use your dogs name (or you significant other's birthday)!

All of the other forums I'm on allow me to change the password at will to whatever I want it to be. Yes some have rules about capital letters and special characters but no big deal.

I'm guessing that isn't the case here.

Just like everthing else on this forum, Trains reinvented the wheel, unfortunately they designed a square wheel.
