This article walks you through the steps involved for registering on Sikhnet.com. If you're already registered on the site, you'll find out how you can request a new password if you've lost or forgotten your password, and how you can update your registration information.
Registering for the first time on Sikhnet.com
As you can see on the main Sikhnet.com Registration page, we've organized the registration application into two main areas: registration for new users (those who have never registered on Sikhnet.com), and registration for current users (those who have previously registered on Sikhnet.com).
Use the following steps to register:
1. Click the "Register" button from anywhere on the Sikhnet.com site.
2. On the main Sikhnet.com Registration page under New Users, click "New Registration."
3. On the registration form, enter your first name, middle initial (optional), and last name to create your Sikhnet.com username.Then, enter your e-mail address, country where you live and agree to the legal rules, then click "Continue".
Note: All registration information is confidential, and for use only by Sikhnet. We do not sell or give your information to any outside sales, marketing, or mailing lists. We require a valid e-mail address so that we can send you a confirmation message.
A response page displays a thank you message, and lets you know that you should receive a confirmation message within a few minutes with your password. The confirmation message contains your Sikhnet.com username and password. Since you don't know your password yet you won't be able to login yet. In the meantime, you can continue to browse the Sikhnet.com site. If you don't receive the confirmation message, please let us know by e-mailing us at [email protected]
Requesting a new password
You can request a new password if you've lost or forgotten your password. We just need your Sikhnet.com username and e-mail address. Then the registration application can reset your account and automatically send you a message with a new password. The password will be randomly generated. Once you have that new password, you can click the "Update your registration" link, login with the random password, and update your account with a new password that you can remember.
Use the following steps to request a new password:
1. Click the Register Here! button from anywhere on the Sikhnet.com site.
2. On the main Sikhnet.com Registration page under Current Users, click "Forgot your password?"
3. On the "Forgotten Password Request" page, enter your username and e-mail address. (Your username is comprised of your first name, middle initial (if provided), and last name. Your e-mail address should be the same one that you originally registered with.)
Note: If you don't know your username, see the following "Recovering your username" section of this article.
4. Click Continue.
A response page displays that states that your password request has been successfully submitted, and that you should receive a confirmation message within two to three hours. The confirmation message contains your Sikhnet.com username and new password. If you don't receive the confirmation message, please please let us know bby e-mail at: [email protected]
