Greetings. This is the thread for requesting assistance with recovering a TV Tropes account for which you have forgotten the password.
Before posting here, please note that Get Known has a comprehensive set of instructions for managing your account. To summarize, password resets are limited as follows:
- If you have an associated email address, use the Lost Password link on the login screen to request a reset email. If that doesn't work, post here.
- If you do not have an associated email address but you are still logged in, you can register an email address and use it for recovering your password.
- If you do not have an associated email address, and have not used your previous account since September 18, 2013, we cannot verify your ownership for technical reasons.
- To verify ownership without an email address, and if you have used your previous account recently, you should be logged in on the same computer and/or Internet connection that you most recently edited or posted from.
- It is not currently possible for moderators to reset your password or change your registered email address. As a last resort, you may use our contact form
to send a message to "The Staff".
Thanks for your understanding.

There are three other accounts on that IP range, none of which is yours. Without some kind of IP similarity I cannot verify that it's your account.

Please reset ~Morgenthaler.
~Morg34: Done.

I think this should go there? I forgot name of my main account and accidentally the second one. In 2011. Duplicate needs to be removed or merged, please?
And this is duplicate account that needs to go. Thank you.
We can't "remove" or merge alternate accounts.

This is a sockpuppet account I had from a long time back, my real account is CDRW. I was coming to the website the other day and found out that I've been logged out and I don't remember the password. I can't reset the password either because my e-mail is attached to this account. Is there some way to fix this?
Hey, I haven't heard anything about getting this issue fixed. Is there something going on that's holding up an answer?
~Gilda: I've reset CDRW.

Thanks. I haven't received the reset e-mail yet though. Is that because the e-mail is still attached to this account instead of CDRW?
Lost in Space
You won't get an email. You need to Get Known again as CDRW.

For some reason, I got logged out of my account, Dragon 573. It has been a long time since I needed to log in manually, so I've forgotten my password. Help?
Sorry, if I sound terse, but... well, my current account's name says it all, doesn't it?

~Raging Dragon: I've reset Dragon 573; you need to recreate your account there.

Thank you!
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.
Hi, I used to be Captain Video (one word) and got locked out of my account, last used a few days ago from this computer. It's an older account and doesn't have an attached email address; could you please send the recovery email to the email address for this account?
Lost in Space
I have reset the Captain Video account. You'll need to re-register with it.

Alright, I'm back in there (I'm just posting with this one because that one won't be able to post here for 24 hours). You can delete this account now, if you want. If it's possible, I'd recommend making it possible to post here without needing to create a second account.
Hi, I was Tracey L and I've lost my password. My account was an older account which didn't need an email address, so my email isn't on record. Is there any hope of getting a new password?
~Tracey L 2: We cannot do this. Please login under an IP that you used as Tracey L.

How would I do that?

Use the computer where you originally created your accout and create a new account there

I need my password reset for Xevon.

Before we do that, does the account Psycho Pj ring a bell to you?

My brother's account.
I'd like a password reset of my old account Anime Today.
