Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 7:03 am Post subject: PASSWORD ACCESS NEEDED |
|
|
I started my game quite some time ago and haven't been in it for a year or longer, so it's an older file. Now, I've forgotten my password and can't get in. I read about "RESETPASSWD.EXE", but can't find the file and when I open the newest version of Custom, it doesn't give me any kind of prompt or anything. Is there any way to use that file or do I need to email James to crack the pw? And once I can access my game again, will the Reset work once it's updated, so I can use that if ever this happens again (NOT that I plan to forget again! consider me chastened.)? _________________ - T.Hi |

Hmmm strange that custom would not give you any prompt. I wonder if maybe you found a bug?
I don't remember any password resetting exe (not that such a thing would be hard to make)
You can send me your game, either in an e-mail to Bob@HamsterRepublic.com or but uploading it somewhere and posting a link here. I'll figure out what your password is so you can remove it. |

"RESETPASSWD.EXE"? I've never heard of that program.
I recommend asking James to retrieve your password for you. He's nice like that and helped me a while back with a shitty game contest entry I wanted to practice on. _________________ "There will always be people who will tell you they hate what you made, or like what you made, and will tell you that what you did was wrong or right."

Thanx, James; I'll go ahead and send the game to you via email...
And for the record, the mention of the .exe I mentioned was in the FAQs, when I did a search for "password"; here's a link to it, you may want to remove that, if it's not accurate or if it's older information or something:

"An idea would be for James to add a Secret Question/Answer to the RPG file, which can be used if one forgets their password. Say a new very small program called RESETPASSWD.EXE, which basically read the GEN lump for the Secret Question/Answer and allows the user to change their password if forgotten."
Now, looking at it again, I guess it's someone's suggestion, rather than fact. My bad. Sorry. _________________ - T.Hi |
