---+ Request Installation of a New Password

%STARTINCLUDE%

If you didn't forget your password, use ChangePassword to change it to a new one.  If you forgot your password, but the email address on
your personal homepage %MAINWEB%.<nop>FirstnameLastname is correct, use ResetPassword to get a random password emailed to you.

InstallPassword is a last resort.  You can define a new password which is sent to the administrator (encrypted).  If he believes that you are the owner of the wikiname in question, he will install the password.
