Wikipedia:Passwords

Okay, dumb question time. Either I can't find the answer, or (& I hope this is not the case), no one has addressed this problem.

• How do recover a password I have forgotten?

I took a quick look thru my email archives, & I never received a welcoming email from wikipedia, so I don't have it recorded there. And I forgot to write it down when I registered.

Many forums (e.g. Slashdot), have a process for emailling your password to your own email address, which provides for a secure way of recovering it. I don't know if Wikipedia has anything like this ... or if I have to email someone to get this information. -- llywrch 18:13 Nov 10, 2002 (UTC)

There is such a process on the log-in page at the bottom Fredbauder 18:34 Nov 10, 2002 (UTC)

I just wrote an answer to your question on the Wikipedia:Technical FAQ. llywrch, when you see this message, please archive the comments related to this and delete them from this page. (See the recent addition to Wikipedia:Talk page). --Ellmist Sunday, November 10th, 2002.
