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.

Account resetting is temporarily on hold. Will let you know when something changes.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerI made an account called Ultimate Ridley a couple of years ago before entering email was required for registration. May I get my password for that account reset?

3DS FC: 4167-5668-8515 Steam Name: Ultimate Ridley... in fact, that's my name almost everywhere else too.Due to ongoing security issues, we currently have no way to verify account ownership if no email address was associated, so if you forget your password and can't reset it via the reset form
, you're out of luck.

topic may help.
Can anyone reset the password for my other account Hollow Hawk, because I forgot it.
I tried changing the password to my main account (Troper Roxas) but all it seems to have done is lock me out of it. Is this because I didn't verify an email beforehand or something?
You are this
troper, yeah?
That message was from me. It's the forum herald message.

Property of Gbrngfol.

Password is what gets reset.
