2013-05-22 Password Reset

The wiki administrator has invalidated the passwords for all user accounts on this wiki.

You need to do a password recovery to set a new and changed password for your account.

Reason for the password invalidation

• We needed to invalidate the password hashes to improve the security of them (getting rid of old hashes, computing stronger new hashes).

What you need to do

Enter a new password

You should have received an E-Mail (including a link to reset your password). Just read and follow it.

Invalid token?

The token has a limited lifetime.

If it says "Token is invalid", you just need to get a new password recovery token, see below.

You didn't get the E-Mail?

If you didn't see that E-Mail yet, please check your spam folder (or other folders where mails from the wiki could be).

If you can't find the E-Mail we sent to you, you can alternatively just use the normal password recovery function of the wiki, see below.

Getting a new password recovery token

• go to the login page
• click the "Forgot your password?" link
• now:

  • either enter your wiki username (recommended, if you still remember it or you can find out easily)

  • or your E-Mail address (same as in your wiki user profile - you might need multiple tries if you are not sure about this)

• check your E-Mail, you should have one now with a password recovery link
• click on the link, define a new password
