password question

Post by Tiger » Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:27 pm

hello
one of the first times i logged in i must have clicked that i wanted my password to be remembered - but i dont! is there anyway of reversing this so i have to type user name and password each time i log in?
also what does OT mean? i have seen it a few times in post headers but am a bit confuddled as to what it means
cheers

If you log out (there should be a link at the top right of your screen somewhere), you can then log back in and this time make sure 'remember me' is unticked.

Hope that fixes it. I had the same problem, but it was a while ago.

hi
is 'remember me' the same as 'log me on automatically'?, 'log me on automatically' is not ticked - but it still remembers my p/word. cant find a 'remember me' (am not the most computer literate person in the world!)

tried to join welcome waggon as i thought it was for new members but have just read the post which explains that its for pple been here longer than a month to welcome new people -soz :oops:

OT - off topic, make sense - thanks

"Remember me" just means that your pc will remember your username, so you only have to input the first letter and it'll come up in the box.

"Log in automatically" or whatever it says on your version of bus, is the thing that means you don't have to input your password. This, unless you have a totally private pc, is probably NOT a good thing to tick! It will separate bus profiles for different users on Windows XP at least. (Quoting my son here!)

Good luck,
Sarah
