6.1 How do I get my password?

If you've forgotten your password and haven't saved the welcome message or any reminder messages, you can always get a reminder through the web interface:

Go to the list information page for the list from which you wish to get your password (This will probably be something like http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME)
Look for the section marked ``LISTNAME subscribers'' (this section is usually found near the bottom of the page).
There should be a button marked ``Unsubscribe or Edit Options.'' Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press the button.
You should be brought to a new page which has an ``Password Reminder'' section. Press the ``Remind'' button to have your password emailed to you.

If you do not receive the password reminder email after doing this, make sure that you typed your email address correctly and that the address you used is, indeed, actually subscribed to that list. For security reasons, Mailman generates the same member options page regardless of whether the address entered is subscribed or not. This means that people cannot use this part of the web interface to find out if someone is subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's hard to tell if you just made a typo.

You can also get a reminder using the email interface,

Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command password
Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail commands.)
If you are not sending mail from your subscribed address, you can also specify this address by sending the command password address=ADDRESS.
