I finally got 'hal' back online even though I screwed up the process

[RAMd®d]

I assumed your four digit password didn't work because troy has stated that passwords weren't transferred over.

There's been one post that didn't mention having to change their password. 

Mine was a permissions problem experienced by several here.

Also, the time between the last email from troy to trying to enter with the temorary password took a lot time.

I think I as out of sync with reset attemps and temporary passwords.

But troy came through and treading carefully, I got in before Cerberus knew it.
