I am typing this on my phone because it is still logged in. A day or so ago, on my PC this site asked for my password. Making sure my password is correct I've tried logging in but get a message that the password I entered is incorrect.

There is an option to reset my password, but will be able to choose the same one? If not, then this will mess with using BoincStats and BAM to manage my account.

Any suggestions, please?

This project does not share passwords with BoincStats, BAM or any other site.
Hence, changing the password here will not mess the other sites.

Thanks for the response. I'm not concerned about this project sharing my password. Rather, it was about BAM not being able to control lhc@home if the password is different at lhc@home from the other projects. I say 'was' because, since my posting, I have found out that BAM no longer requires the same password to be used over all the projects I have. I just need to figure out how to go about it.

A bigger concern though, is why lhc@home thinks my password is wrong? I haven't made any changes here or at BAM.
Thanks
Rod
