1 | Title: Resetting your Password | |
2 | --- | |
3 | ||
4 | If you have forgotten the password for your NickServ account and are unable to | |
5 | log in to it, you can send a password reset mail to the email address on your | |
6 | account with: | |
7 | ||
8 | /msg NickServ SENDPASS youraccountnamehere | |
9 | ||
10 | You should receive an email containing a command with a password reset key, | |
11 | which you can use on IRC to reset your password. | |
12 | ||
13 | If you do not receive the email, please check your spam folders etc. | |
14 | ||
15 | If you already have an outstanding password reset mail, you cannot send another, | |
16 | but you can contact freenode staff in #freenode (or find them on /stats p) for | |
17 | assistance. | |
18 | ||
19 | Password resets do not work if someone is currently logged in to the account. | |
20 | If you are logged in to your account already and need to change its password, | |
21 | you should instead use the following command: | |
22 | ||
23 | /msg NickServ SET PASSWORD newpasswordhere | |
24 | ||
25 | If your account is compromised and you are unable to change or reset the | |
26 | password, please contact freenode staff in #freenode or /stats p as soon as | |
27 | possible for assistance. |
