Re: Lost email password
Thanks for all your help. My friend (the older person, 87 yrs) found a piece of scratch paper with the password on it. All's well now. (smile) Thanks again!! Paul B. Gallagher wrote: David H.

Actually in most cases they cannot disclose the current password as they don't have it, only a hash or other derivative of it. So the most you can expect is a reset of the password, and even for that you will need to convince them you are the account owner. Agreed. But it doesn't hurt to ask before falling back to a reset. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
