    Unfortunately, I could not, for two years, come up with a strong password that would either (A) work with the system's password change utility, or (B) be set by the Sysop without immediately compromising a work password.

    Then, about a week and a half ago, I discovered that my web site had gone 404.

    Turned out that there had been a crash. Once my web space was re-established, I tried another go-round with the password change utility (having finally come up with something that wouldn't compromise a work password if I had to have the Sysop do it manually), and this time, it worked.

    But everything had to be reloaded, and I opted to do it myself, so I could fix all the broken links, take out the trash, and reorganize the pages.
