Hi Mike!

Thanks for answer!  I agree with you my workaround should be published at your
FAQ, but I couldn't find a way to write it at the FAQ myself.  I tried to
recover my old account (https://user.documentfoundation.org/passwd), but the
system keeps saying that "The client does not have sufficient access to perform
the requested operation".

Maybe the wiki is for developers only?
