I have had the same PW here for 17 years LOL I need to change it. I'm prompted with an email address I used initially to enroll in FT but that email is no longer valid so I can't obviously receive the reset password link. Can you recommend what I can do to change my PW?

Yes, I need help resetting my password.
So this is weird.
I've tried 5-10 times to use the reset password function built into Flyertalk.
1. I go to: Flyertalk Forums - Lost Password Recovery Form
2. I enter my email address: [redacted]
3. Nothing arrives, no in my inbox, not in Span
A. My profile exists here: FlyerTalk Forums - View Profile: Pakse (I can't post the link to it here as this account is new and this is post 1)
B. When I try to re-register with my [redacted] email address the system tells me that email is already in use.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
No - no solution - silence. I'm frustrated. I enter the email, the system responds that it has sent an email to me and nothing arrives.
So apparently my original identity here is now locked away from me. I guess it's not that big of a deal; but it's weird. I was a contributing member for a while. I'm surprised that an admin can't look at my account settings and correct whatever is wrong or let me verify my identity another way. I"m not opposed to sending in a drivers license or somehow proving my identity.

IBJoel,
I have filled out the form. Thanks for the advice, I hope it works. I'd like to be "me" again.
Update: 24 hours later - no response from filling out the form. (I'll continue to update the progress on this issue).
