    I hate that when that happens. Just click the "Forgot Password" link and go through the steps to reset it. Wear glasses, they will help you see?:D

    Mine and my wifes laptops did that about 2 weeks ago. All the websites that we have passwords for now have to be logged on each time. For another problem I replaced my hard drive. Got the new one going with the restore disc set I made when I bought the laptop. Now all is back to the way it was. I don't have to log in every time. BUT, it took me one day to set laptop up with all my info again (favorites, email addresses etc.) All my other stuff , music, photos and documents were backed-up on an external backup drive like the passport.
    You got the Iphone, you should get a Mac laptop then all your crap will go back n forth between yer phone and the laptop (or Ipad) on that fancy Cloud.

    When you go threw the steps. It shows a puzzle of slanted words and numbers.
    I try over and over and over and over to read them.
    Got no idea what they are. I can't read them.

    Check your browser settings, if you set it to clean out cookies and cache everytime you
    close it to hid the porn sites from the wife in history it will wipe out all your remembered passwords because it kills the cookies.

    Put biketalk in the exceptions list or change the way the browser closes.

    When I'm pissed off having to write stuff down. I can't read what I wrote.:rant:
    If I had Hotroadkings money I'd use my 45 and shoot my computer and go git another one. See if it remembers any better
