I have no clue. Looks like you're able to log on .. so why do you need a new password? Security??

What do you mean? The password to open your computer, the password for Lymenet, or for another app?? I gather you mean to open your computer. Maybe ask in the computer section. It would depend on what kind of computer you have, etc.

no-the pw for lymenet

the gave me a wierd one i won't be able to remember

i paid a computer guy to fix my computers

now i can't make them work

apparently-if i log on one way i am still lpkayak

but if i log on another way i had to re reg so i did as lpkayak2

its all so wierd and really taxing my brain-having this guy here to make things easier and i am a total wreck

i thought i would have a heart attack twice int he last 4 days and it isn't over

i'm trying to relax about it but having trouble--

If you got in as lpkayak.. then write down the password for next time.

I have a little notebook by my computer with all my passwords. It's like an address book, so it's all alphabetical. I couldn't do without it.

on the newer brouser i use lpkayak2 and i have to use this wierd pw that lymenet gave me...i'd just like to change it to something easier

i have the little book too. they are reallydangerous i guess...anyne can go anywhere if they get it

but what can we do? the brain sure won't remember

i'm paranod after the computer guy had my machines for 2 days to "clean" them...

he won't answer my calls now and i am afraid he is identity thefting me and emptying all my accts...

but i just don't know what to do

I didn't know Lymenet ever gave ANYBODY a password. You create your own.

Let's pray you are just being paranoid about this guy. I hope he came highly recommended??
