“What was my password?”

In today's society, with the Internet growing at such a rapid rate ... you are constantly entering new e-mails, user names, passwords, etc. Unless you use the same password for everything you sign up for, it can get confusing and frustrating, to say the least.

At catersource.com we want to make it easy for you. Just click on ‘forgot your password’, which is located on the homepage login section. This will take you to another box, which asks you to enter your email address that you signed up with. After doing so, click ‘get’ and your password will be automatically emailed to you.

Remember: You can also update your e-mail address and password by clicking on ‘customer update’ in the login box.

There are two main Internet browsers available – Netscape Navigator Internet Explorer (IE). Both browsers are FREE and usually come installed with your computer. Even though they basically function the same, there are some differences in the way each one translates the code for every website.

catersource recommends using Internet Explorer to view this site and make sure to update to the latest version from www.microsoft.com. Each new version that becomes available is a FREE download and will not only give you more options, but also help your computer run more efficiently.

There are other browsers in various stages of testing and conflicts that work to varying degrees with our site, such as Opera, Firefox and Safari. At this stage, however, our recommendation is to use Internet Explorer.
