Forgot password for Wiki

You are here

Haruo's picture

I just tried to log into the Wiki for the first time in many months and it doesn't recognize my password. What's more, there's no "Request new password" or "Forgot your password?" link on the log-in page. I thought it was the same as my hymnary.org password, which I know like the back of my hand (and which is working as I type), but apparently it wasn't. What to do?

Hi Haruo,

When you are logged into Hymnary.org, you are logged into the wiki as well. If you click "Log in" on the wiki, you should be taken to the Hymnary.org login page (or your profile if you're already logged in). If this is not the case, could you send me a link to page that is denying your password? A screenshot would be even better. Thanks.

Hi Brian,

I'm logged into Hymnary.org, but when I open the Wiki link from the left sidebar, I'm given the Main Page of the Wiki but the upper right shows

rather than

which it should show. When I click on Log in on the Main Page, it then takes me to http://www.hymnary.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main_Page and when I enter the Username and Passweord that should work—that do work in the Hymnary.org pages—I get the message (in a pink box above the Login fields) "Login error: Incorrect password entered. Please try again. " Trying again is futile. Don't know how to attach a screenshot here and don't know your email offhand.

Thanks,
Leland

PS I'll be out of town for the next three days and may not have a chance to check back till late Wed or Thur.

Please try logging out of Hymnary.org and then log in again. If that still doesn't work, clear your browser's cookies for Hymnary.org.

Not sure why that works now when it didn't work a few days ago... but it does. I'm in on the wiki.
