email and password problem

Post by Rach » Sun Jun 27, 2010 6:34 pm

Help, please!
I have a new email address so have been trying to update my profile. I entered the new email and then confirmed it in the next box. In the last box asking me to confirm my password I entered my password [which I have used before] but it kept telling me that the password was wrong. After a few attempts at this I then tried to change my password using the same combination to be told that the password I was entering was the same as my old one!! If that is true why would it not accept my confirmation of my original password.
Hope you get the gist of this!

Hi Tracey,
Thank you for the reply and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
I tried the way you said again and it still wouldn't work. However I then tried entering the new email plus a new password and it is fine now. Don't know why I had to change password though.
