Trying to install new license, forgot password
« on: July 15, 2013, 05:10:04 AM »
Hello all,

I recently renewed my Pro account and downloaded the license, and when I try to install it - by double-clicking the file - it asks my password. The problem is that I forgot my password, I can't find how to reset it.

So, in short, how can I reset my password?


p.s. if there is a way to reset it, why not just put a link to it after you write the wrong password (like every other program that uses a password does)?
