RE: oscar forgot password,,how to reset
In your OSCAR data directory, under your profile name, you will find it in the Profile.xml file.

Within the Profile.xml you should see a line,   <Password type="QString">Your_Password</Password>

Do not delete the line. You just delete the password.  After editing it, your line should now state,  
<Password type="QString"></Password>.  After editing this file, be sure and save it before starting OSCAR.

Question; Why are you using a password?

I thing where is one step very important not to forget.
--> Before modify a file, save it.
