Is your password saved on the machine you are currently using?
Change your password from the computer you are currently logged in on.
I mean you came to the right place!
Are you logged on? đ
I tell everyone to write down their passwords somewhere, for some reason, since the public started buying computers, they have almost all thought that the CIA or some ‘they’ would sneak into all of our houses for our secret password list.
A piece of paper is easy to reasonably hide.
Have you ever logged in on your cell phone? It might be in password manager if so.
Getting a new laptop or a new phone can feel as though you are moving into a new house and different neighborhood.
Pluses and minuses to the move. I only change “Horses” when the one I’m riding becomes so malfunctioning, that dollar wise, it’s better to just put in down for good and move on
Did you try: 1234567 ?
Mine is “Password 123”. I can heartily recommend it. It’s never let me down. You can use it too, I don’t mind.
I always use âinvalidâ as my password. That way whatever I type in the answer is always, âyour password is invalidâ ;^)
You may have used one that could never be guessed.

Banks of super computers would never guess that one
You must be logged in, in order to post. ?? Maybe go to the donations page, and in the comments section, after your generous pledge, ask them to contact you about your password.
FWIW, I’ve been on FR so long that my password incorporates the name of my first wife, who left me 24 years ago to become a single, leftist cat woman in Delco PA. I guess a hacker could figure it out, but all it would take is one reasonable message for the whole FReeper community to know I’d been hacked.
Can you look it up on your old machine? If not, just choose “change (or forgot) your password” at FR login. No big deal.
Have you tried Control, Alt, Delete.
All at once, it’s awkward, but works.
Are you signed in?
Are you logged - oh, wait. Never mind.
Sorry, I was in the shower and missed the beginning of your post.
Still upsets me.
My first visit to FR was Bush-Gore Election Night in 2000.
Had to change my screen name and lost 4 years of FR tenure.
I am still treated like a Newbie!
