This was sent to me by Kenny,
Can anyone help him!!!
Help I've Fallen, and I can't get up!
er, rather, I've fallen off and can't get back on!

Friday I accidentally logged off of SOWAL.com, and have not been able to get back in since. My user id and password will not work. I work in I.T. for SallieMae, I walk people through websites all day long, I know what I'm doing. I actually do most if not all password resets for the whole company. I'm not doing anything wrong, but I can't get anyone from the site to return my emails.

Do you have any pull/influence, know-how or know-who, that would get me back on? Since you and Suzanne introduced me to the site its like heroine, and I've been without a fix since Friday! I'm shaking over here, tremblin.

Is there a sowal detox? I'm sufferin' from withdrawal. I've followed all instructions to the letter and as a last resort submitted feedback, to no avail.

Thanks for anything you can do.

Meanwhile, other than reading your posts, and playing telephone tag with Momma Jeanie, I haven't heard anything from/about you. How goes it? Hope all is well.

Talk to me,

K

I have no problem logging on as drunkenartist. :floor: just kidding. If drunkenartist is the IT guy for SallieMae and he is having trouble... just kidding again. :funn:

Steps to recovery:
Be sure computer is plugged in, powered on, and internet access is available 🙂lolabove🙂.
I know you are an IT guy, but remember to use your correct password, and it is case sensitive.

Also, remember to use your correct user id which is "[ame="http://www.sowal.com/bb/member.php?u=3956"]SoWal Beaches Forum[/ame]" (that is some sort of RiverOtter spelling, which is probably the culpret.) The incorrect user ID seems to get some people.

We need you back on, so do some IT magic.

Thgis is from Kenny when I told him what Sueshore said.... Someone help him I can not keep doing this:::😱

Yeah I just went to the site and saw that! Wow. I'm having an anxiety attack! Where's my xanex? Oh the horror of it all!

Oh well, might as well run the vacuum, do the dishes, clean the bathroom and go to work!

No SOWAL=Clean House!

Tell drunkkenartist to not place a space in his name. You are showing it as drunkken artist. When he registered, he did it as one word. ;-)

Okay...if something is not done soon I am afraid drunkkenartist will go into dt's! I received this:

I know Bobby must be getting tired of playing mediator between me and SOWAL and smiling joe. Have you been reading the thread of me getting locked out?

This is what is happening.

I'm logging in with "drunkkenartist". All lower case, all one word, 2 k's.

Then I'm putting in the password(s) that I would normally use. Each time it comes back saying "thank you for logging in" then it says I'm being redirected. But I don't get redirected, it just boots me off again.

Help I'm stuck in a loop and I can't get out. I'm in SOWAL Limbo. I'm a sowal limbo bimbo.

Could you forward this on to Smiling Joe or the powers that be?

Thanks

Kenny

Would someone please do something! If we don't do something soon I am afraid he will be a quivering wreck in the corner....:shock: Any advice to pass on...name of a detox center....interventionist :idontno:

I am not the "powers that be." Just trying to get your crack back in your pipe. Be sure that your cap lock isn't on when entering your password.

Can't the artist create another user until he/she figures out what is wrong?

I sent him a new password - we'll see if it works.

Tell him to clear all cookies and reboot. Or try logging in from another computer.

THIS JUST IN: (from Kenny to my email)


OK You two. I greatly appreciate all that you have done to get me in contact with Kurt to help me get back on. Let me tell ya this much.

I'm not kidding when I say this is what I do all day at work. I'm thoroughly trained in these systems now, this is what I do. I cleared my cookies, I rebooted. I'm about to try it from another computer.
Meanwhile, I'm more than willing to bet the problem is with the website.

First of all, for the first few days while I was trying to get in, I followed the instructions to "click here and a new password will be sent to your email".
That never happened till last night. I did it twice. Both passwords did not work.
Now Kurt has sent me a new password. "doodoo99". (should I be offended at that?).
Anyway, his doodoo don't work either.

When a person types in their userid and password, they can see their userid and the password will appear as asterisk or dots, then they hit enter. When doing so they can still see the user id and dots, but when I hit enter the dots disappear, meaning that the only thing that is going through is the userid. Therefore I could do this for years and not get in.

I fully give either of you or Kurt the permission to reset my password. I trust you. Give it a shot. Type in drunkkenartist (all lower case, all one word, 2k's) and "doodoo99" and see if you can get in. Trust me. It won't work. But I would like a witness that I am not as crazy as y'all are thinking.

Now I do have one heluva security system on this computer, that is the only thing that I can think of that could be a hindrance, but it should not affect password resets.

I'm going to go scrub out my fireplace now.

Kenny

okay daddy-o...what do we need to do now
