I tried logging in to the new registration database using my previous log in and didn't
get a new password. Help!
Community Pass is our new registration database and all users must set up a new account here.
The system will not recognize the user name or email that you used for our previous registration database; do not click on the forgot username or forgot password links if you haven't set up a new account. Accounts are set up as one account per household; all adult and child family members can be added to the account. Each family member who attends a class/program should be added to the account, and registrations for a class should be listed in the name of the person who will attend.
