Forgotten your username or password?
If you forget your Lyell Collection site login details, please go to Forgotten your password? Enter your subscriber id number and click “Send Request”. Please complete your email address* and click “Yes, please reset the password for [name]”
Your current username and a new password will be emailed by the site host immediately, however, this could take a few minutes depending on your network connection. When you try the new password you should see your name in the brown bar at the top of the page confirming you are recognized. There may be a delay in the new password working, depending on when you re-set it: if you are trying this during the afternoon US West Coast time, it could take up to 30 minutes until the system recognizes the new password. Our advice if to keep trying the new password until it recognizes it; please do not re-set the password again.
