# I've just created my account and I can't log in again. The "Forgot password" function doesn't work

**If this is your first connection after creating your account**, you may have made a typing error when registering. You may not have received an email to activate your account. In this case, simply re-register with the correct email address **but with a new "FUN username" (or pseudonym)**, as this identifier is unique on the platform and cannot be re-used, even by the person who created the first account.

If when you create a new account with the correct email address you get the error message An account with the email address 'votreadresse@nomdedomaine.fr' already exists and you don't get a link to change your password, **it's because your account hasn't been activated**.

To find out more about activating your account, please see our article [How do I activate my account?](/doc/how-do-i-activate-my-account-5gQEGsS7NC)
