Whatever you do don't log out, or mess up your password.
I tried to log-on elsewhere, and maybe made typed the wrong thing too many times. Then since the PW I thought it was didn't work, I logged out of my regular account to reset the password. Alas, the reset button causes an exception, I am unable to get the activation email resent (it says I'm active) and the help doesn't work. So for now I guess I'm out. Really close to more free books too
OK, whatever was going on, it's fixed.
