Aide:Password
This page covers information about how to recover lost passwords.
Using e-mail recovery
To use the e-mail password recovery, you must have an external (non-FeministWiki) e-mail address configured in your Wiki User Preferences page.
Given that you had done this, simply visit the Login page of the wiki (click on "Log in" at the very top right of this wiki page) and then click on the Forgot your password? link.
Clicking on Forgot your password? will lead to a page asking for your username and e-mail address. Here you have to enter your FeministWiki username and your recovery e-mail address that you had hopefully set up as described at the bottom of this page.
After submitting the form, you will receive an e-mail containing a temporary password with which you can log in.
You can use the password received via e-mail to log in normally to the wiki (but not other services of the FeministWiki). As soon as you log in to the wiki, it will ask you for a new password. Enter your new password twice and submit the form. You can now use the password you configured for all FeministWiki services again.
Contacting the admin
If you've lost your password and you had not set up a recovery e-mail, you will have to contact the FeministWiki technician and ask for a manual password reset. Simply send an email to admin@feministwiki.org or by contacting @FeministWiki on Twitter.
The technician may be skeptical towards your request if it isn't obvious that you're the legitimate owner of the account whose password you're trying to have reset. In worst case, contact the member who initially added you as a member (who's hopefully a friend of yours) and tell her/him to confirm to the technician that it's really you.
Configuring the recovery e-mail
Setting up the recovery e-mail for the case where you lose your password is very simple. While being logged in on the wiki, click on the Preferences link at the top right of the page, or just follow this link: User Preferences
There you will see a section titled Email options with a link that reads Set an email address. Simply follow that link and then follow the on-screen instructions the wiki gives you.
