patboivin Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 Hi, Is there any way I can override the password I set for a PBEM? I can't remember my password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggi Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 If there was a way, anybody can see anyone's file, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bad Ju Ju Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 In this day and age of passwords and PINS for hundreds of different sites/services we all use, it's dang hard to keep um strait. That's why I use the password "password" for ever'thin'. Just a suggestin' ....say, what's this $3,600 charge to my Visa?..... ------------------ "I didn't go to evil medical school for six years to be called MR. Evil."

Guest Big Time Software Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 Sorry Pat, we can't even do this for you. It is encrypted. For future PBEM games you should stick with one password for all games. And make it simple, like "patisgreat" Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Steve, since I made nice and promised to shut the hell up about most things, could I possibly get my original name back that I lost in the gold demo server crash? I probably should have requested this sooner, as it's been 6 months or so now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Captain Foobar* Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 Heres a trick I use.... Find some box, appliance or thing near your pc that has a word written on it, and use that word... You can change to a different word around your computer every once in a while, and the answer will always be right in front of you! And no, my password isnt Sony. I am way too cheap to buy anything Sony.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisl Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 I keep a spreadsheet that has who I'm playing and the password. I also tend to use the same password for multiple games, as described by many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schugger Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Well, I'm also prone to forget my passwords, but I've found a solution that wor´ks fine for me: I've created a folder for each of my PBEM opponents where I download the recieving files to. I renamed them with the name of the opponent and the password for the actual game. For example "Freyland - Arty" and so on. Sorry patboivin, that does not fix your actual problem but it may be helpful in the future. ------------------ Very strong because Mikrowaben!

Henri Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Is there a way to let your opponent see your positions AFTER a pbem game without giving him your password? Some of my opponents ask me for my password after the game so they can see everything, and this "burns out" the password for this opponent. Changing passwords all the time and having different passwords for different opponents is conducive to confusion or even forgetting passwords. Come to think of it, "forgetting" my password might be a good way to avoid the embarrassment of raising my total number of consecutive losses to ten...

Are you saying that after one player surrenders or after both players agree to a cease-fire, both players can see all the units on the map?

Kingfish Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Henri, Yes, once a surrender is submitted (or a ceasefire is agreed on by both players) you then get the AAR screen. At the bottom is a "Map" button which allows you to see the entire map with units of both sides displayed. ------------------ Charlie don't surf!
