Best thing you could try would be to write to the site owner and request your details as they are usually stored using a common thread such as your email address.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I keep an Xcel spreadsheet containing information of all web sites we visit.
Information includes:
name of site;
our login Identity (ID);
the email we registered;
password;
URL link to site. (Copy and paste the site's web address)
If you need further help to turn it to a URL (that you can click on from your spreadsheet), let me know and I will create instructions for you.

For safety reasons I have copies of the spreadsheet stored ONLY on a USB stick (flashdrive) and an external hard drive.

I do not allow my computer to remember these login details in case my computer is hacked as I believe hackers can only access what is on your 'C' drive and not 'plugged in' peripheral storage devices. Don't quote me on this.

I hope this helps, hugs n roses, Meganne

It is my understanding that a hacker can access any and all information on a computer including peripherals as long as it is plugged in and turned on. Screen capture hackers get to see your screen on their computer. Key-loggers capture all keystrokes and send them to the hackers computer as a data file, but most hackers use other means to gain complete control of your computer. They can collect user names, bank information, and passwords quickly from your computer. They can also collect any other information they desire.

I just asked the guy who owns the computer store in part of our building and he said the same thing as rescuer, so IF you are plugged in, and you are on, you're vulnerable to hackers.

This won't help you now but could you help you in the future.
I have a index address book for the internet.Every site that I have a login & password is written down in it ,with the sites address & any relative information.I have had for over 10 yrs & it is starting to fall apart but if there is no info in it for a site ,I know I must register .It saves a lot of hassle.

Obviously you can sign in at Cute. The other sites like Adorable Applique enter your e-mail in the forgot password space. Hopefully that works.

Go to your site and click SIGN IN. It gives a spot to click FORGOT PASSWORD. Click that and site will tell you what to do next. I keep a notebook for this stuff.
