what's the account name?
Since the steemit.com webpage is not open source, I can't really tell what it is doing in that case .. maybe @valzav can help

Hey @xeroc @bytemaster

I think I just really messed up. Is there any way to recover a password on Steemit? 

I setup an account for someone else and before I transfer it to them I wanted to change the password from it being the private key to the BitShares account I created the Steem account with. The problem is, I was using KeyPass to keep track of these passwords and it clears the clipboard after 12 seconds. I still had the private key as the main "Password" in KeyPass and was setting up a new stored field for the new password which I generated from elsewhere within KeyPass and thought I had pasted it and clicked OK. It turns out, it did not paste and the field is empty and I have already updated the "Owner" password with it on Steemit and now cannot login to the account.

Is there anything I can do?  Thanks!

I can't believe I did that. I've been very good about passwords in my online history and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've boneheaded my way out of access to an account. I even had the new password pasted into a text file, but closed and did not save because I thought I had it saved in KeyPass prior to that. I really feel stupid at this point, but I will never be sure I've saved a password again unless I see it saved. lesson learned. :(

If nothing else, since this was just setup and I've yet to email Mr. Carreras, I guess I can just redo it all under a new account, but any funds going to the current post will be lost forever I presume, so I need to know pretty fast before others upvote that post so I can make a new one and prevent funds needlessly going to an account that no one can access.

Hot off the CoinReport press:

Why didn't my evil twins tell me Steem was a social media platform, sooner? Is this forum even relevant any longer? Why am I still here?

Update : Question ... how can us morons who use Windows vest more STEEM (after the 100 for account registration) without creating another account for 100 OPEN.STEEM?  Say I want to Vest 200 STEEM (using OPEN.STEEM), what are my options as a Windows user?

Answer: You upgrade to the latest BitShares wallet and withdraw OPEN.STEEM, then on steemit.com move it to vesting balance.

Hi all-

I have set up a witness node located in Los Angeles, California that includes DDOS protection, automatic backups, and can easily be scaled up to meet the needs of the network.
Being one of the top public VEST holders, I am committed to providing long-term support to the STEEM network and am fortunate enough to have plenty of time to react to updates and other situations as needed. Additional plans to support STEEM will be announced shortly.
