Apparently.

Look it up on the master list of user/log-in names and passwords
that you have kept for everything you've ever set up with a
user/log-in name and password, and kept in a safe place on a
floppy disk, with a printout close at hand so that you can record
new user/log-in names and passwords when you sign-up for
something that requires them. [Then updating the file on the
floppy with the new info, and printing out the updated list. The
file is on a floppy and not permanently on your computer so that
there is no chance of someone, locally or online, hacking in to
your computer and getting your user names and passwords.]
Oh, you haven't done that. Well, after you've solved your
current problem from the suggestions already made, I would
suggest you create one immediately, and start using it.
That is, if you're in the frame of mind to take advice from an
old fogey who "has been there, done that, got the ball cap,
t-shirt, coffee mug, etc."
