Forum:Can't log in

When I went on to the Zelda Wiki yesterday, I found I wasn't logged in on my account (the username is happyjoe5), even though it normally remains logged in when I leave the website. I went to log in and as soon as I typed the first letter of my username the computer remembered the rest of it and entered it for me. When that was done it then remembered my password and entered that for me as well, so I'm absolutely certain I'm using the correct name and password.

I've found myself logged out a couple of times before, and whenever it's happened I've always just been able to log straight back in again. But this time this site is telling me that the password is wrong, even though as I said above it's definitely right, and it won't let me log in. I thought it might be a temporary glitch so I've tried again today and it still won't let me log in. How can I fix this? 88.104.55.198 21:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Try to use the "E-mail password" in the login screen. If you'd put a valid email address in your user preferences the password will be reset and a new password will be sent to your email. Try to login with it. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 10:13, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I don't have an email address registered to the account. 88.104.55.198 13:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Is there no way to get back on to the account if it desn't have an email address? 172.215.74.237 16:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry but no, there's no way. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 17:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh... I would just make another one but the problem is it's an admin account. How do I get admin status back if I can't get on to that account? 92.11.166.149 15:57, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * A Staff Member can make you a sysop again. -- Phillip (talk) 16:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but presumably it's not as simple as just asking? Do I need to prove that the account is actually mine or something? 92.11.166.149 16:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The staff can check the IP Adress, to verify. -- Phillip (talk) 23:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
