Question from Dyan: I’m in a world of hurt Rick and I desperately need your help!
I’ve forgotten the master password for my LastPass app and now I can’t log in to several of my online accounts.

Question from Andy: I need help with an Internet issue, Rick.
Several websites that used to load just fine won’t load anymore. They either just sit there and try to load forever or I get an error message.

Can you please help me fix this?
