Very Large Login Problem

Postby Merchantis » Mon Apr 21, 2014 3:40 pm

I tried to log into my primary nation called the Beallian Empire. But everytime I try to log in it says my password is incorrect! This problem has been going on all day I want to know how I can solve this or what is happening

Here's the link to my primary nation: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_beallian_empire

This normally happens when the server goes down. Is it still happening?

Okay, so the next most common problem, is a recently changed password.

If you've recently changed your password, you may have typed it incorrectly. If you've typed it into a puppet storage incorrectly such as NS++ then that can only enter your mis-typed password.

May I ask if you are using NS++ and whether you have recently had to re-enter your password for any reason? If so, it may be worth trying again manually.

Edit: I'd like to point out that Nationstates provides a Forgotten Password service, if you registered an email with the account, if you request your password sent to you, it'll reset it. If you haven't registered an email, you'll need to file a GHR. (Which you should probably do anyway).

I don't have NS++ and the email address I have when ever I apply for WA the email isn't in on it! Not even in the spam folder!

This is the correct advice. The nation you seek to login to has an email address set, and any message from NS about a forgotten password will be sent to that address.

If all fails, use the GHR form so a Moderator can check it out.
