Title: Need to reset the password for my forum account
Post by: Head Stash Only on March 20, 2013, 09:13 am
Hi.  I'm a new seller setting up my forum account, but I need to reset the password to the account that matches my SR username: PrivateReserve.

If you sent me a message encrypted via my public key that's posted on my vendor page, I can prove that's me by responding to your message here.

I also sent a message to vendor support, as this seems like the kind of thing that only an admin could take care of.

Clearly I did not ask my question in a understandable way.

My SR account is "PrivateReserve"  I have no trouble accessing it, and the password has not been compromised in any way.

I also set up an account on the forum with the same name "PrivateReserve" and did NOT use the same password as my main SR account (as that would be unsafe in case the forum was hacked.  Simplemachines is not meant for security.)

I never actually posted a single thing with this account, and now, 5 days later, when I'm actually ready to make my debut on the forums, I realized I had no recollection of the password I made up for my forum account.

I was hoping that since I must have a matching name in the forum and on SR in order to join the vendor roundtable, somebody with admin priviledges here can delete the forum account so I can create a new one.

I imagined this wouldn't be a problem since it's only 5 days old and has 0 posts.

The SR account, on the other hand, is perfectly secure, and I have no interest in giving up that account as I've already deposited my bond to become a seller.

thanks!

If you would like me to delete the forum account PrivateReserve I will look into it for you, please confirm this is what you want.

Vendor support took care of it for me.

Thanks!
