I guess I'm happy to see an unwritten and untested patch in exchange for 
a credit advance :)

OK, where is the patch?  Have you uploaded it to the bugs.cacert.org?

Elite, you have to forward the request for the password resetting to the 
support AT cacert.org team.

A couple of tips.  Before you do that, try to use the system to check 
your 5 "secret questions".  Then the SE will authenticate you using those.

Bear in mind that the re-setting of the password is a security issue, 
and the "payment" is not actually the only thing that goes on.

OK, if the account has zero points, then I think it is possible for you 
to change this.  You should set the real one.

If the account does not have zero points, then it has to go to 
arbitration.  Unfortunately, for reasons too boring to go into, we need 
the right one.

It should tell you what questions you used;  try them.  Then the Support 
Engineer can see what you did, and fix it.  It of course takes time, but 
this is our way to authenticate you.
