Can't reset password for FF Account

I'm trying to reset the password on my FF Account. Every time I ask for a reset link, The link that I'm given results in a page that says "Reset password link expired"

I've no clue how to get past this.

I experienced this is with a fresh installation of FF on a new computer. I just checked the cookies and there was only one (__cookie_check) from accounts.firefox.com.

Since this is a new installation of a fresh download, I don't think cookies had anything to do with it.
