Here's a few things for you to try:
- Your username and password are case-sensitive ("password" is different from "PassWord", which is different from "PASSWORD"). Please type in username/password EXACTLY how you did when you registerd (and check to be sure your caps lock is off).
- Please ensure your user name (login name) is at least 4-6 characters. Shorter names can cause problems.
- If you are getting an error after clicking the link in your activation e-mail, then that's an indication your account is already activated. Please try logging in; it will probably work.
- If you just signed up, but did not get your password sent to you (confirmation e-mail), please check your "junk mail", "spam", or "deleted" folders for the e-mail. If you do not find it there, please check your filters to ensure BassResource.com is marked as "safe".
- If nothing is in your junk mail folders, double-check to ensure you typed in the correct e-mail address when you registered. This is the #1 reason why the registration e-mail fails. A lot of people do it, so don't feel like a dummy. If you're absolutely certain you correctly entered your e-mail address, please return to the forum, and use the "forgot password" feature to resend your password.
- If you waited several days before attempting to validate your e-mail, then the the validation code has expired. You will need to register again.
- Please clear your browser cache and cookies, close all browser windows and try again.
- If your password still is not working, you will need to use the "Forgot Password" function as described above to get a new activation e-mail.
- If you did not receive a password e-mail after using the "forgot password" feature, please check your "junk mail", "spam", or "deleted" folders for the e-mail. If you do not find it there, please check your filters to ensure BassResource.com is marked as "safe".
