Problems with Sign In are usually for the following reasons:

Incorrect Username/Email Address or Password
Remember you can sign in using either your Username OR your Email Address.
When you enter incorrect details during Sign In, the screen will display relevant error messages to help you resolve the problem – usually this is an incorrect or mismatching Username or Password.

If you are having trouble with your Username, try to Sign In with your Email Address instead.

If your Username/Email Address is correct, then your password you are entering does not match, so you can set a new password.

Your Registration did not complete
Perhaps the password on your account was not set? Sometimes after registering, subscribers do not click on the registration confirmation email we automatically send. The quickest way to determine this is to follow the procedure to set a new password.

Lost Password

When you do this, there are two outcomes:

1) You will see a message informing you the Username you entered is invalid, or that we do not have an account matching your email address. In this case, please Register.

2) Your Username or Email Address is registered on our site, and we will send you a notification to your Email Address which includes a link to set a new password.
