Need to reset password for main account [SOLVED]

Hello all :
Last night I tried to make a new account here, because I'm interested in helping to test bugs on the new Beta 3 that comes out this Saturday. The light wasn't good and so I must have mistyped the password I used to register.
I cannot find instructions for how to get a password reset for the account (NOT this forum account, that's separate and I found the FAQ for it. I mean the main Mageia account registration), so I can subscribe to a couple of mailing lists (QA-discuss, mainly). Please advise me how I can do that.

Thanks !

(I have used and liked Mageia 1, and reviewed it on my blog. I wanted to help test for approx. 2 weeks, although I really don't know much about what's involved, what you guys need from us testers, etc.)

This forum uses the identity.mageia.org account, actually every Mageia web site uses that account.
Check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia.org_user_account

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I thought that the underscore in my name may have been the problem, but I just managed to log in using the email/pw in the upper right of the mailing list webpage. Hopefully that solved the problem.

Undescores in username are only a problem for the wiki, as mediawiki has a problem with underscores in usernames, which is also mentioned on the wiki page i've linked to.

Now please mark your topic as [SOLVED] by editing the subject of the first post and prefixing it with [SOLVED]. Thanks.
