I successfully registered into Google Personas and applied a Thanksgiving Persona a few weeks ago. I cannot sign in because my Username is not accepted (?) I KNOW I entered the correct data because I recorded it for reference. I would like to access My Favorites Folder to change the Persona.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I tried all of them, but ultimately none worked to resolve the problem. I finally got my computer genius son to help me (he's also typing this now because he's really fast) and the problem was resolved by simply resetting my password. He also helped me setup LastPass so it's easier to use and not as annoying.
