Hang in there.

>>
>>     <http://members.isoc.org/PortalTools/RequestReminder.cfm>
>>
>> You MUST use the same email address that you used when you signed  
>> up as
>> an ISOC Member.  This is the email address that is currently

>> mailing
>> lists.
>>
>> The system will reset your password and send you an email containing
>> your login and password.
>>

>>   Nelson you may change it.  Typically, the Alternate Chapter
>>   Administrator would be defaulted to the Vice President or second
>>   leader of the chapter.
>>
>> - The Chapter Administrator roles may be delegated to ANYONE in your
>>   Chapter.  What is important is that the individuals assigned to  
>> these
>>   roles are responsible for maintaining accurate information  
>> regarding
>>   the chapter and for approving and canceling Chapter members.
>>
>> - The email addresses for the Chapter Administrator, Chapter  
>> Officers,
