If you have forgotten your password, you cannot access your BSCW workspaces anymore - and therefore, of course, you cannot change your password as described above.
For exactly this emergency, BSCW offers the following procedure:
• Open the entry page of your BSCW server (on the public BSCW server this is https://public.bscw.de/pub) and click on the reference "Forgot password?" to register a new password with your BSCW server. The normal registration form also contains this reference.
• In the following action form, enter an email address that BSCW has already associated with your name (e.g. your primary email address) and confirm with [OK].
• BSCW will then send a message to the given email address containing the URL of a form where you may set a new password.
