Additional Information
Name server updates typically take 12 to 24 hours, though in some cases the propagation of the change can take up to 72 hours.

What to do if do not remember your OpenSRS/Tucows username and password

Your OpenSRS Reseller can email the login information to the Admin Contact or Owner Contact email address on file. If the Admin Contact/Owner Contact email addresses are invalid for any reason, you will have to complete an email contact change via fax.

The fax requirements are dependant on your tld type. The web site: http://www.adminchange.com provides full details on fax requirements and specific forms that you will need send.

In general, when the domain is registered to an individual, you will need to fax a photocopy of government issued photo ID (Drivers License, Passport etc). Be sure to include the signature side, the domain name, and the new admin contact email address.
