Hi,

I have setup a local sync server but I am using the Firefox account servers. I successfully created an account and synced! Now I'm still testing this setup so I decided to change my password. But that's where it went all wrong. I can't sign into sync anymore with my old or new password...

I tried the password reset feature. It sends me a nice email, I click the link, enter a new password two times and press "Submit new password", The page throws an error "Unable to deliver email" between "Enter a new password" and "Once you submit...". Why? You just sent me a password change email, why now complain when I actually reset my password?

I first tried this 1.5 week ago, and again today, but it still fails.

Please help. Does this have anything to do with the local server?

Thanks, ervee.

Hi Cor-el. Thank you, but my problem isn't listed there. Perhaps follow the bugzilla instructions?
