Resetting password when using Facebook login

    Hi there,

    I setup my Boards.ie account using my Facebook account, so when I sign in to Boards, it gets me to sign in via FB.

    I'm closing my FB account for a few weeks while I'm busy with work but would still like to be able to use my Boards account. The only problem is each time I try login to Boards, it sends me to FB, which re-activates my account. And I can't change my Boards password because technically I don't have one, it's the FB login.

    I've made a right mess of it!

    Is there any way I can fix this and use an email and password login instead of FB?

    Hopefully someone from the office will be along when they are back in tomorrow. They should be able to help you on this

    on the login window click the 'I have forgotten my password' link, enter your username and it should send a new password to the email associated with your facebook account
