Thread: How long to get a password reset ???
I have a continuous log feed from my mail server, showing that I've received list eMail to the above eMail address, as recently as this morning. Obviously, eMail is not being blocked at this end.
But no responses to a password reset for the above eMail address.
Sincerely, Dean

It's pretty simple:
That was six hours ago. Since it looks like I (now) have satisfactory access to the list (I was moderated for a few hours), I will post (in a separate thread) my PostgreSQL issue, & wait for the next full moon (26 days) for my password reset.

- All known passwords failed.
- I clicked on the link to the "password reset" form, entered my above eMail address, & pressed "Reset Password." The response was a web page that said I'd soon get an eMail for resetting my password.
- The rest is history. Meaning zero history (response). And yes, I did it twice to make sure I didn't type the eMail address incorrectly (I cut & pasted the 2nd time). I can try again if it will help (barring the usual definition of insanity).

Password reset from where?
I should have added, for your community account or for something else?

I just tried it and it worked. You might want to check whether the email got caught in a Spam filter. Otherwise give it another try. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com

You do not appear to have an account under your ultimeth.com address, or under the mailpen.com address you used in your first email. However, if you have not used the website for a long time, it is possible your subscription was migrated over from the old installation, in which case it can exist without an email address. In this case, you can just go ahead and create a new account with your email address, and it will automatically get connected to your existing subscriptions, and you will be set. (And in general, please send questions like this to webmaster@postgresql.org, so they don't have to go out to thousands of people. They'll still be picked up of course, but that will be more targeted.) -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/

This must be why I wasn't able to reset my password. > In > this case, you can just go ahead and create a new account with your > email address, and it will automatically get connected to your > existing subscriptions, and you will be set. This important info should be mentioned at https://www.postgresql.org/list/ to eliminate a lot of angst and confusion. -- Angular momentum makes the world go 'round.
