How to change password
I must be blind or something, but I looked everywhere and even tried the password reset thing, but I don't see a way to change my password. I looked all over in profile settings. Am I not just seeing it? Can someone tell me what I need t do?

ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

Thanks. That worked.
Re: How to change password
You're not blind. The password change facility is well hidden. I expected it to be in the forum's User Control Panel (see link at the top of this page). It is not there. Eventually I remembered that many websites put a link to their user account management (account settings) features somewhere on the site's home page. I went to the ReactOS.org home page (see the "ReactOS" and "Back to Website" links at the top of this page). The ReactOS web site's home page is a very busy page. It has links to many things. Maybe that is why I didn't remember that the password reset and account management facility was on the ReactOS home page.ROCKNROLLKID wrote:I must be blind or something, but I looked everywhere and even tried the password reset thing, but I don't see a way to change my password.

If Emuandco is not available the next time you or I forget how to change passwords:
- Go to the ReactOS web site's home page, ReactOS.org.
- A black-colored region (or field) is located at the bottom of the home page. Scroll down to that black region of the page.
- If one is already logged in, the black-colored region includes a link marked "My Account" that goes to https://www.reactos.org/user. Choose the Edit tab to edit ones account settings, including ones password.
- If one is not yet logged in, that region has log-in fields marked "Username" and "Password". For someone who has forgotten ones password, there is a "Request new password" link. For newcomers there is a "Create new account" link.
