Oops! Password Incorrect

I'm supposed to be working with Dialog, an online database, for my one class. I guess it's been a few weeks now that we were supposed to be checking it out, although last week was the first week in which the lecture specifically called for using it. Well, I've been keeping up with all the readings. I've followed along with the assignments in our Dialog workbook. I watched the Dialog tutorial we were given. I just hadn't yet signed in to Dialog (as part of the class, I might add... I have used Dialog before in one of my internships). So, technically I am only a week behind in the lecture and am not behind at all in the readings.

I'll cut to the chase, as you guys can probably see where I'm headed. When I tried to log in to Dialog today to do last week's and this week's lecture, I couldn't get in. Seems my password is invalid. I must have tried it thirty times, at least. Although I wrote it down very clearly, I even tried changing the 's' to a '5' and the '1' to an 'l' and that sort of thing. Nothing's worked. So, umm, I had to email my professor and admit I haven't logged in yet this semester and now I can't get in. How embarrassing!

She honestly shouldn't care because it's clear I have been keeping up with the other assignments but she is kind of an idiot and a hypocrite (remember when I bitched about her criticising my grammar when hers is far from stellar?) so I am a little worried about her reaction. But oh well, what can I do?

Two final things. I just KNEW this was going to happen. I just had a feeling about it. From the moment she sent it, I knew I should really logon to just try it and I never did. All we've heard is how expensive it is to use Dialog. We even had to sign an agreement that we were only going to use it for school purposes. So, I just figured I didn't want to sign on until I was ready to dedicate some time to really exploring the database. But, that leads to my final comment. That time I dedicated was today and instead I have to wait and wait to hear back from her about it and use this time to do something else I wasn't planning on doing! Ugh.
