I just tried changing my password and it says my current password is wrong.
So I cannot change to a new one now.
You have the same password that you had before the attack.
Hmnm. Well something has gone wrong. I use a pwd safe and call up and paste in my previous password and it rejects it. My password had 25 chars including letters, number, symbols. Unless the validity of symbols was changed at some point I don't know why it won't work now. I've probably only used it once when created as typically I'm "always logged on".
If your password had been changed I don't think you'd have still been logged into the forum when it came back online.
I'm pretty sure the password wouldn't matter.
Usually a session id is stored in the login cookie not a password.
I've used Keepassx on Ubuntu for years and never had it mis-remember a password. I guess I should go thru the "lost password" process now...
