New userid password doesn't work this morning

Post #32,159 by bconnors 3/14/02 10:19:19 AM Reply	New userid password doesn't work this morning Was able to re-add the new user yesterday and get in, as a post here mentions. This morning I tried to get in as the new user without success. Closed IE, cleaned out the cache and cookie folders, restarted IE and came back here. Login unsuccessful. Caps Lock key is "OFF". Still doesn't like my password. Suggestions? Beetlejuice "It's Showtime!"

I just came back from lunch, confirmed the cleanup, and retried new pseudonym/password - again, it got rejected. Don't know what else to do other than create another new user. (At least, the auto-fill for the sig works great!) Beetlejuice "It's Showtime!"

If Netscape is reasonably small, I could download it, zip it to several floppies, and try from my apartment. Have a URL I can use? Beetlejuice "It's Showtime!"

Anything that could potentially affect my productivity, i.e., "DLL Hell", would put my ass in jepordy, and I can't risk that in my current economic situation. I was able to create another new user and post in the test forum; I'm just curious to see if it will allow me to register tomorrow. If so, I'll request that we kill the new pseudonyms and I'll create something else to be known under. Beetlejuice "It's Showtime!"

Big tip, try not to read IWETHEY at work, they may not understand what it is and use it against you? At home one of those free Internet companies will work just fine. One thing that you can do with floppies, if they haven't disabled flopy access, is to get the DOS version of PKZIP and then Zip with the "-&" option to spawn disks. This won't work in NT for some reason, so if you use NT, get the latest DOS version. The DOS version won't need to be installed and won't cause DLL Hell. Sounds like you are working at a company like the lawfirm was, I so much as install WinZip and they got upset and made me take it off. I remember the Techs telling me to support it myself because Visual BASIC was not a standard part of their workstation install! So any tech support issues I had to handle myself and it took time away from my other projects. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

This morning I was able to log in as the new persona, but 'Beetlejuice' still doesn't work. So please delete 'Beetlejuice' from the database and leave my original userid and new userid available for me to use. Any possibility of "scrubbing" my name off previous posts and replacing it with the name of my new userid 'lincoln'? Just hoping. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig"
