Solved Problem logging in after name change

Post by red queen July 7th 2011, 6:55 pm

One of our members has changed their username and now finds they can´t log in under either their old user name or their new one. Can someone help please

a) should they be trying oldname + password
b) new name + password
c) does admin have to give them a new password?

Thanks, idiot-proof replies would be appreciated as I'm not the least bit technical Thanks Very good

Maybe you two put different names in?
Make sure the names are exactly the same.

Sorry, if you checked that already then I don't know. Smile

I'll get her to double check but that was my first suggestion, to make sure she typed in her NEW name correctly with her Old password.

Locate the member's account in the administration panel and see what exactly is the username. Search by the member's email address that she used to create the account.

Done that and emailed it to her that is when she confirmed she had typed it correctly.

What kind of message does she get after trying to log on?

Sorry, don´t know - would it be easier if I went in and gave her a password - emailed it to her so she could log in and then she could change it to something she would remember?
