Doh. Wish they had an email password option.  I never login to WU.  I have all my work and home browser set to never logoff.  I was at a different pc the other day, and for the life of me I couldnt remember the password.  So I click the email option.  It resets your password and makes you pick a new one.  Which was fine at the time.  However the next morning I noticed my cams not updating.  Thought WUcams were down.  Then realized it was cause the ftp was trying the old password.   So when I got home logged into my ip cams and changed to "new" pass.  Not a huge deal, but was just frustrating going a day with no images.

So partial rant, but not really, hope someone reads this and remembers to think about their cams if they ever do a reset.

I have noted the pass in my password holder for future.

bummer. I wonder if you could change your mind after clicking on the e-mail option and it asks for a new password. Just close out of there and the original password would remain?

one of my cams is still down, even thought the ftp test page on ip cam said successful. Oh well. 

Then of course i noticed that my conditions are not updating either.  That was a real dumb move.  I really did not need to see WU logged in that bad on alt pc.  Now I am away from home pc for a spell. So no WU conditions for 1.5 weeks.  Hadnt missed more than a few hours prior to this event.
