Nook reset itself and needed to be reregistered.

[thebostonpost]

The first day of a weeks vacation, my nook reset itself to the point of wanting me to register my nook.  This has happen repeatedly in the past but I had access to both internet and my username/password.  I resigned myself to not reading my nook books.

Upon return from vacation I reregistered my nook.

A few days later I stopped by a B&N Nook booth in a Barnes and Noble Store to see when it happens again on vacation what my solutions were. 

Explained what had happened.  Was told that my Nook was very old and I should replace it. (I was given it 15 months ago); this problem would have been easily rectified if I had gotten the 2 year warranty(too late to do that); and even if I could have gotten to a B&N store they and/or tech support could not help because I did not have my account and password with me) Unfortunately, I do not have one username and password for all accounts.)

In other words, there is no solution to my Nook problem unless I am at home. 

Not a good solution for traveling with the Nook.

Your Nook should not have reset itself, but here's an easy work-around:

1. Write your account info on a piece of paper and put it in your wallet.

2. Check out this website with MANY sources of free Wi-Fi:  http://www.wififreespot.com/

Or, if you have a smart-phone...

With all the accounts and passwords, I finally got a password management system.  It's an encrypted database with a REALLY strong password (go for something insane like "N88k1776freeed@M").  It's saved me more than once to have all sorts of account information, passwords, and notes like customer service phone numbers ready to be pulled up no matter where I am.

You already had problems that required your username and password so it shouldn't have been a shock that you needed it again.  It's just too bad it happened on vacation.
