See www.bugmenot.com for help here.
If you are using Firefox, there is a BugMeNot extension you can install which will add a BugMeNot option to a context menu. Go to the page, right click, BugMeNot, and a popup appears with a username, PW, and two buttons- "This Did Not Work" will give you another(if they have another set) and "Submit My Own" will do the obvious. ~Ben -- Ben Browning <benb@theriver.com> The River Internet Access Co.
