Details:
I cannot login with my user name (important name for me).
I used my "Lastpass" program to generate the initial password while creating
the account. I depended on Lastpass to create a login entry in its database
or at least remember the generated password but it did not this time.
So after I verified, via the emailed link, I went to do the "Forgot Password"
process. This is possible on every other account authorization scheme I have
ever seen. "Savannah" will not allow me to reset the password for this
account because it is "pending". I also cannot start over and create a new
account with my login name since it is already there.
I am in limbo. I have an account that I forgot the password to and I am
permanently locked out.
Why does the login process lock me out of being able to reset the password? I
never heard of that before. What is this extra validation protecting
against?
Why am I not able to create an new account over the old one ESPECIALLY when
using the same username AND email address?
