For some weird reason, the password that I used to create the account (and which was written down) doesn't work.
I am only logged in because Chrome remembered the password. Attempts to login through a separate browser are unsuccessful. Not sure what to do. I confirmed the password at the time...
Good news is you're still logged in! Go to https://steemit.com/@blocks2517/permissions and click "show" on all the keys, and copy them down, then print them or do something to save them. As long as you have the owner key, you can change the other keys. If your master password is stored in Chrome you should be able to extract it too.
Never mind my earlier post that I now deleted. This is the easier option.
Ugh. Password was never saved in Chrome (checked). I'm logged in because of cache.
This kind of sucks. I was going to use this account. ..
No...Active and Owner keys need a login while the others are clickable.
Not sure sure how to extract a password from Chrome. This might just be a bummer story. No variations work.
If it's saved in Chrome you can do this: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/manage-view-saved-passwords-chrome
If you can't show the keys for active and owner it sounds like you're logged in with just a posting key though. Hopefully you can recover your original password if it was saved in Chrome but without at least the active key you won't be able to spend any reward.
You should still keep the password you wrote down safe. Someone may in the future come up with a brute forcing tool that can speed up the cracking by using the incorrect password as a hint. There is still a slight possibility that you can recover your funds in the future.
