Log in problems: account activation, lost password, etc...

This thread is for users who experience problems during the registration or while trying to log into their account. Post here if:
You didn't receive the confirmation email to activate your account and want a manual activation. Be sure to check in your junk mail folder, often activation emails are filtered as junk by mistake.
You have lost your password and want to receive a new one to the address you have entered in your profile. An email address that is no longer active (for example, you've changed ISP but didn't enter the new address in your board account) will induce delays in your request in order for us to make sure you are the person owning the nick.
Also, within a few minutes after you've registered your account, an email is sent to the address you have entered. You must click on the activation link contained in that email to activate your account. An account will be deleted from the database if it was not activated*1 within 30 days after registering and if no Site Admin have been contacted for a manual activation.
Lastly, we strongly encourage you to register an account since usernames are available on a first come first choice basis. Take note that guest users cannot vote in polls, cannot post in some forums and we may have to temporary revoke all guests privileges if the board face problems with a particularly determined spammer or troller who use the guest feature to push their ads/flames around the board.
*1 Activation shouldn't be mistaken with posts count. An account can be activated and still haven't posted anything yet.
