My password will not work or I have lost/forgotten my password. What should I do?


First, and most important, do you have a new password of at least eight characters?

Following site security upgrades at the end of 2010 all members need to get a NEW password which contains AT LEAST 8 characters. To get your new password go to the "lost password" page http://royal-signals.org.uk/database/forgotPW.php

If you believe that you should have received your details, first check in you "spam" mailbox in case the message has been mis-filed. If you still have problems then please contact us.
