    Changing the password

    Hi!



    I'll replace my old computer with new one, and I need to connect to Microsoft Access Forums and Microsoft Office forums from my new computer. The problem is, I have set automatic log-on for both of them somewhere almost 10 years ago, and don't remember anymore, what it was. I checked out the password change option for forum, but it looks like I have to enter there the old password manually to continue with setting the new one.

    Is there some option to change my password anyway? Or I have to create a new account instead? Or is it possible to get my old account(s) deleted, so I can create a new one(s) with same name?

    Use a different device to open access forums (such as a smart phone or your new computer) so you are given the option to be sent a reminder or reset (not sure which) - just click the login button and follow the prompts to be sent an email. Not tried it but alternatively try logging out on your current machine, then click the login button

    I wasn't aware of this option! It worked!

    If you're using FireFox you can look at the password manager page. There is a password item in the application menu at the top right corner.
