I originally joined this site about a year ago and when I wanted to use it recently found that I'd forgotten the password I'd chosen.
The site says that I need to hit the "Forgot Password" button on the login screen but no such button seems to exist. And when I tried to send an email I got the message "All email functions have been disabled"
I got around it by creating a new userid so not really a huge issue but is the site documentation wrong or did I miss something?

Re: No way to recover a lost password
Hello,
you didn't miss anything. The only way to recover a password is to open a ticket on the bugtracker. SourceForge doesn't allow sending of emails by software that is hosted on SF. So the forum cannot send emails and so there is no way to recover passwords.
If you tell me your old user account, I can change the password and will send an email to the address in that account.
With best regards,
Jan
