Why don't you change your password to something that you might remember?

Question

If you have your original e-mails, then surely you can re-enter your username and password, and still get in - even if your PC cookie gets corrupted?

Have you set your profile to remember your password (as a cookie)?

Have you recently cleared your cookies?

Do you run a firewall?

1. I cleared my cookies (good idea at the time!)

If you clear your cookies, then ScoobyNet cannot automatically recognise you (or rather your PC) - so you will need to log in again (go via http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/ and re-enter your (latest) details). Clearing cookies can be a good idea if your PC has been hacked, but it means that any security, shopping cart or other similar details will be lost.

2. I run a firewall (again good idea some of the time!)

Keep running your firewall, but make sure that it doesn't block stuff to ScoobyNet. Speak to a local expert if you are not sure how to do this.

3. Yes I'm guilty of being dopey

So are we all

Drop the Webmaster an e-mail to check on the status of your current (or previous) identities.

As someone has said so Scoobynet knows who you are try going to this page and entering your details:-

ScoobyNet Login Page

Also the passwords are case sensitive.
