I generally hate passwords but acknowledge, like traffic lights, they are needed.
For some reason, tonight the password that had been set to automatic for as long as I can recall suddenly became persona non grata so I had to try to use it manually, copying the old password from the word file "Passwords" where I store a dozen of the dammed things.
No love there either.
Okay I sought a new password and here I am with a new one and logged in.
Hows come ?
It might be my computer losing the password, but then why didn't it work manually ?
Oh well, I am just venting, unless other members begin to have similar problems.

I am OK ... but happy to hear of any other experiences.

Question though Charlie ....

How were you able to obtain a "new" password if you were unable to login with the "old" to change it?

It generated a new password which I stored in my "password file.'
