hi Brad.
Firstly, I love the idea of pay pow! pay or we shoot you! lol!

it's actually pay pal, as in p a l!

Second, as to your password, make certain your clicking the right link in the mail. I've never used that system for paypal, but often their mails have a "if you need to do more go to www.paypal.com" type of link, so read the mail carefully and make absolutely certain your clicking the right link, ie, the one that sends you a new password.
if you do run into problems though, Paypal's customer services are very good, and I've phoned them myself.

They are such a major company they have to have good public relations.

I'd very much advise you to choose a password which is different from your usual one, and is long and complex, but possible to remember.

my normal password that I use on forums and such is nine characters long and just has letters, and even if I need a number I just stick an extra one in.

My password for paypal though is 18 characters long, completely different and involves letters and numbers and a capital as well, yet is something I can always remember.

thanks again dark.

Moderation!

Double posting not good brad.

I'm glad you got paypal sorted.

I'd advise you to try and make as long and complex a password for paypal as you can remember, sinse afterall that is the major targit for hackers to get at your money. That is also why i personally have paypal tied only to a creddit card with a 500 pound limit and not to my actual bank account, sinse that way if someone hacks my details and attempts to charge 2000 pounds, it's not gone from my bank, and I can cancel the creddit card transaction.

It's also handy to have a creddit card sinse there is the odd firm that doesn't use paypal but does accept them, such as avg.

He meant paypal, ie, the internet payment and money service.

It's basically a very simple way to manage and transfer money.
Most (including myself) use it for taking donations, or payment for games or software. It's almost necessary in todays online world.
