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.

I'm Pirate Pete but I forgot my password. I left the cookie baked for too long so I never had to remember it but now I do...
Reset.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerI forgot the password to my account, specifically, Nika-senpai . Would I be able to get it reset?

Da Ladybug Man does not register within your IP.
Nika-senpai is too old to verify. I'm afraid I can't reset it.

If you're still logged in on IE, you can go to the Image Uploader
and highlight the password field. It'll show you your password in plain text.
As the name suggests, I was Rambo M before my browser updated and blinked the cookie out of existance, and I have long since forgotten the password. Halp?

After tinkering with it a bit, I've reset Da Lady Bug Man.
Reset.

Unfortunately, I can't do anything. I can only suggest you e-mail thestaff@tvtropes.org, since they have more tools than me.
Yeah, he'd been asking me how to log back in now that it's reset, and I have absolutely no clue myself.
Moon◊I was Frozen Wolf but the power jumped and my computer defense wiped all my cookies and I can't remember my Password for my account.

Hi, some times ago I created an account named True Shadow, but then I forgot my password, so I created this new one. Can you just delete the old account? I'm comfortable with this new one.
Also, I feel a bit stupid for asking this, but when you say 'reset', what is being reset? The password? Or the IP Address?

Is it okay if I edit with this handle? Because I'm not sure if admins will delete a handle on an IP address if the login page's "IP adress already in use" notification isn't an error.
