Having trouble remembering passwords for games? One easy trick is to go into the folder where your x file for the game is stored and make a new folder. Then rename the folder using your password/passwords as the name. The next time you use browse on the Autohost to get your x file you will see the password listed as a folder to remind you. And you can still use the folder for storage of old turns, notes, etc.

Another way is to create a bat file that has the PW stored in it to start game using the command line options. I save the .bat file in the specific game directory.
That way you never forget, never have to type it in and you have a hard copy of it as long as you never delete/change the bat file. But you still have the upload PW to remember Cool

Heheh! Yes, but you can ask your game host to change your upload password for you. Maybe someday players will be able to change their own upload passwords.
