Ed Rooney Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Oh my, it appears that I'm being treated as special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Oh my, it appears that I'm being treated as special. A tribute to your experience and wisdom, perhaps. Or maybe a check for memory loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 After being forced to do this just yesterday, I'm being put through it again today. And the temp password still won't let me on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak to CS but I bet they tell you it is your end at fault. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Seems like I had a problem like that once, years ago. I can't remember what resolved it. You need to get those gremlins out of your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Gaul Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Don't think I've ever been asked to change my Alamy password Ed. I also regularly clear cookies as am paronoid about security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Joe, I know nothing about clearing cookies. I'm on a Mac. This password thing just happened again, so I guess this will be a daily problem until it gets sorted out. Under ordinary conditions this would be driving me nuts, but everything is worse right now because I have the flu. Yes, I've had a flu shot . . . just 10 days before coming down with the flu.

Ed Rooney Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Okay, maybe I've fixed it. Thanks, Joe and all. I have cleared the cache before, and that clears cookies. I won't go into the false tech I've been fed. Now it looks like I will have to change all my passwords. I'm going back to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Sorry to hear you have the dreaded lurgy Ed. It takes 7 days after the jab for your immune system to come fully acclimatised to the vaccine so you must have had the flu virus already in your system.

Joe Gaul Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Sorry to hear about your ailment Ed; I don't believe in having the flu jab but that's a different thread in a different place. I mentioned that I regularly clear cookies by way of debunking that theory and don't believe that would be your problem. Unfortunately being allergic to Macs I can't be of much help, although you could try a virus and pup scan. Good luck Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
