Authors & Permissions

Author Has No Permissions

I created a new author name for myself and deleted Melody. Now I have no permissions.

Author Recovery

One of my authors can't login, and either didn't set or doesn't remember his password hint.

Invalid Login

I'm getting an Invalid Login message when trying to sign in to Movable Type.

Lost Password

I've forgotten my password, and never received the email when I tried to recover it; or I forgot or did not set my password hint, so I cannot recover my password.

No System Administrator After Upgrading

After upgrading to 3.2, none of my authors was designated the System Administrator. How do I correct this?

No ability to create authors

I need to add a new author to the system, but I don't have an Authors shortcut and/or do not see a link to Create New Authors on the Authors Listing.

How can I show the author's display name with entries instead of the username?
