Reset password failure

I tried to reset my password on the 11th of January. The link worked in generating a new password and mailed to my registered email. When Di tried to login with that past, it triggered a danger/wrong password message. The password sequence included capital a “I” character that may be triggering the challenged.

It appears that the password reset worked as it shows that you recently logged in. Did you do anything else but retry your login with the new password?
Under certain circumstances - a failed login followed by a password reset, for example, a login attempt will show that error message, usually because the cookie created in your browser has not yet expired, so it shows a credential conflict.
No worries - simply attempting to log in again will usually resolve it.
Thanks for noting it - it's on my list of things to explore and resolve - number 1082 or thereabouts. <grin>

My time on subs

I served on the USS George Washington SSBN/SSN 598G. On my first patrol (the last gold crew patrol) in 1981, we hit and sank the Japanese freighter, Nisho Maru. I stayed with the boat through decommissioning . I then after MM C school and a few weeks on Groton Ct. shore patrol I went to the USS Andrew Jackson SSBN 519 and made 2 patrols before leaving the navy in 1987.

This site is a great accomplishment. I look forward to other warriors to check in and register. I will be down in central America (Guatemala) to pickup a 42 foot sailboat I bought. One of the bucket list items that still remains is navigating the Panama Canal. The sailboat is in Rio Dulce (Caribbean side) and my crew and I will transit in December. I will be completing a refit in Pensacola, FL first to complete US Coast Guard EPA regulations.
