And I see that you have to *enter* your current password in order to change your password. That’s a problem for you, since you don’t remember your current password. As another DUer has pointed out, requesting a new password will sign you out. Assuming you are certain of the email address that your password change request will be sent to, you should be able to access it via your email. If you think there’s any possibility that you may have used a different email in the past that you can’t access, I suggest you contact the administrators for more help. Good luck!
