How to reset your password

If you have a password problem, but your Profile email is correct, you have a way to get a link for a new password. The website may take a few minutes to send the link email, but this will work for any incorrect password.

Try to log in, but instead of putting in your password, choose the “Forgot your password?” underneath the Login option. This causes an email to come to your registered email address with a link for a new password.

How to change your password

You can change your Member Profile password by first logging into your account (go to Member Login under the Members tab). Once there, click the little gear icon next to your profile picture and click “my account” in the drop down menu. From there you click “change password” to change your password.
