Re:Ask PG: What if I forget my password? by tialys on Thursday April 30, 2009 @03:36PM (#587347)
About 3 weeks ago, I got so irritated with trying to log in from time to time that I sat down for about an hour and tested every fat-finger combination of the password I used that I could think of. I took me about 40 tries, but I finally found that I'd hit a letter twice (somehow in both fields!). I really wanted to keep everything under my account, so I wasn't going to just make a new account, but it frustrated me to no end that I couldn't just reset my password and move on. Since finding my password, I've changed it to something else, but also added an openid account, so on the rare chance this happens again, hopefully I won't be left out in the cold.

or just write it down...i mean, if someone gets access to your harddrive, stealing your hn account is probably the least of your worries.
