The Password Finder

---

There are several facilities on this website that are of significance only to members of the Diocese. Most are fairly unexciting things to do with administrative tasks but they also include enhanced access to the Directory and the ability to post news and other items directly to the site. If you have been granted access to edit any of the group or committee pages, then you must, of course, be logged in.

Log in access is restricted to those who are listed in the Diocesan Directory. This does not include people with a purely parochial role. Because your password is sent to you by email, you also need to have your email address registered in the Directory. Whoever may request the password detail, the information will only be sent to your own registered email address.

Step 1:
Am I listed - and what is my User ID?

The first step to your access details is to check whether you are listed in the Diocesan Directory at all - and if so, whether you have an email address registered on the system.

If you you are not listed at all, then there is little that can be done as this system is intended to restrict access to "Diocesan Members" only. If there is a special reason why you may need access, even though you are not listed, it may be possible to arrange a special "Guest Account".
Mail the webkeeper to discuss whether this may be appropriate for you

If your details do appear on the screen but it reports, "Sorry, XXX has no email address listed", you still have a problem. As this registered address is a vital part of the security of the system, it is not possible to set up a login without this information.
If you want to add your email details (they are not published on the website), you can email or write with your details to the Diocesan Office. The office database is normally updated very quickly, and the all-important online version is generally updated towards the end of each week.

You can check your status by looking for your details in the online Directory - or use the shortcut here:

Your surname:   

When you view your own details, note how little of your information is disclosed to the casual visitor (one who is not logged in).
Make a note of your UsedID which is shown just under your name. It is normally the first four letters of your surname and either a 2-digit number or your initial and a 1-digit number.

Step 2:
Request your Password

Now that you know your User ID, you can fill in the three boxes below. If the subsequent request fails, the most likely reason is that the email address you have given is different from the one in the records. (As your address is hidden from all web-searchers, your only way to check is to mail the webkeeper to find out.

When you request your password, your login details will be emailed to the registered address that you specified

Change your Password

1. Remember that you can't change your password unless it is already set up!
2. You may need to request your details, using the form above, before you try to change them.
3. Your new password must be at least 6 digits long, but no longer than 15 characters
4. This is not a totally secure system. Do not use an "important" password(such as your internet or banking one).
