    I always access DP forums from home, but now I want to access them from work as well. What's the easiest way of doing this? Do I need to create a new account, or can I just use the same login for both ?

    Use the same login, but make sure no-one else has an account at your work (same IP)

    I'd prefer to use the same login, but I can't remember my password (never have to use it, cookies etc).
    And I can't retrieve my password because my registered email address is no longer in use (It was a long time ago). Where can I get help retrieving my password ?

    No it wasn't a free email account. It was connected to an old website I used to work with. Not around anymore.

    I thought there might be a DP support email I can contact about this, but I can't find any.

    If your using Firefox, you can grab it!

    Go to. Tools > Options > Security hit the show passwords button,

    And you should see your DP username and pass in there :)

    If your not using FF, i think your screwed.

    Best of luck

    LOL you'll be so lucky :D there is an email adress but noone ever replies to emails.

    If the domain is available you could always reg it via godaddy, set up hosting for email and then reset pass and once you've done that you can drop the domain. If you have enough to reg one that is

    You could do that, or, you could use the FF method.

    I remember there is one about IE, but I forget how to do it.

    Shouldn't you be working, anyway? :D

    NO! You'll be banned for dupe accounts.

    I'm not positive on this but tell me what you guys think.

    In your "User CP" if you go to edit email and password

    Enter your present password to continue:
    "Mine is already filled in with *******"

    Then it gives you the option to enter in a new password.

    New Password:
    Confirm New Password:


    So if your current password is already filled in on this page then I believe you can just enter in a new password and remember that one moving forward.

    Your thoughts....

    Just let the moderators know your work IP http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showgroups.php and if you know of any collegues using DP dont participate in any sales or transactions with them, or reply to eachothers posts/

    but whatever you do DONT open a new account lol

    As all have said, "Duplicate accounts are not allowed."

    Try the methods mentioned above.
