I apologize if I have been less than clear on the password reset. Here's how it will work:
On March 31st, I will reset all passwords on all accounts to a random password. You will have to use the lost password function to request a new password to be sent to you. If your e-mail address in your account is not valid, your account will be unable to get a new password. We will NOT hand out manually new passwords to those who forget to update their e-mail address ahead of time.
If you do not have a valid e-mail account (as is the case with most bogus accounts, your account will -- in essence -- become unusable. You have over a month's worth of advance notice, there is no acceptable excuse for not following through.
A couple of quick questions:
1) After we get the new random password via E-mail, can we log onto our accounts and change the password back to what it was? Or does it have to be different?
2) If someone doesn't get his new password (say he doesn't check his E-mail for a month) couldn't he log on as a new user and make a new account?
