I have had several students respond all day today with I forgot my password, 
what do I do.

Here is one example:



	 Dr. Patt,
	 
	 I have forgotten my password for the grade submissions. Ive been 
	 checking my email after clicking the "forgot password" link, but Im 
	 not geting any emails, regarding the process of password retrieval. 
	 Ive included a copy of my program. Ill submit it again through the 
	 grade submission if/once i recieve the email. Im very sorry for the 
	 inconvenience, and ofcourse I am still attempting every password that 
	 comes to mind. Please excuse my form of submission.
	 Ive had the program finished, but have just been waiting for an email 
	 update.
	 
	 <<name withheld to protect the student who did not get this particular 
	 email>>



You received an email update at 5:50pm yesterday (Saturday).
...unless you tell me you have received no emails from me, which does not 
sound to be the case, judging by your email.

If you look at the email archive on the course web page (Do you know what I am 
talking about?), you will find it.
 
It would be irresponsible of me to simply accept a program that you send me, 
essentially saying, here it is, you submit it for me.
Part of the job of 306 is to do these things for yourself.
 
Sorry to be so harsh, but it seems to be the only way I can get students to 
not expect special treatment.
 
If Aater is still up, he will delete your account and you can resubmit right 
now.  If not, it will have to wait for tomorrow.
