 +  - Try closing your browser and opening it again.  That will often start things all over.

   - If your password is not working, click on the "lost password" link that you'll find next to the login box on any of those sites.  You should receive a new password in an email. If you are not sure about your email address look in your email history to find what address you have used with Shambhala.  (You can write Alice Toohey for help if you are certain that you have an account and can't figure out what email address you have used:  [email protected].)     - If your password is not working, click on the "lost password" link that you'll find next to the login box on any of those sites.  You should receive a new password in an email.
