It's so stupid made me laugh out loud. How the heck am I supposed to log into my account to find the answer to my question if my password doesn't work?

It took me half an hour to get into my account this am.
I did the "re-set your password" thing again, and signed up for a gmail discussion board.
I forgot to mention that when I re-set my password each time, I got the following screen:
{quote]Password Reset
Your password has been reset.

I looked at them the first time, but wasn't really interested in signing up for anything, so I tried to skip to my email.
This time I decided to look for a gmail forum. When I tried to sign up with the forum, it gave me the old "Username and password do not match" message.
It gave me an anti-bot word to type in, and let me in the forum.
Now it finally let me into my email.

Btw, Jebus, I have to hit refresh just about everytime I try to go to my gmail account - apparently it's a problem that gmail has with my particular browser (Safari).
But that doesn't sound like the type of problem you are having at all.
And I am pretty sure it's unrelated to the problem I had this morning. Posts: 5771 | Registered: Nov 2000

Jebus, I've heard people getting that problem intermittently, but it's usually not a consistent thing, as you've said.
For the intermittent problem, usually clearing the cache will do the trick. Since your problem seems to be a little out-of-the-ordinary, I'm not sure that would work, but you could try it.
