What is a safe way to reset my current password if I have forgotten it? I am still able to get in from an old computer where I had stored my password in the browser. I seem to recall that trying to reset via email may cause problems and could in fact lock me out.
I changed my profile password several times and I never faced any problems.
Best way to do this is from profile Account Related Settings, you just enter new strong unique password, verify it, and enter old password on the bottom, to change your account.
It's not a nagd idea to use separate email address dedicated only for bitcointalk forum.
