I asked for a password reset, and got the email, and clicked through. It said "Unknown or expired link." instead of letting me enter a new password. I reviewed the email I received, and made certain that iOS had not accidently added the period after the URL to the URL. Is there something wrong with password recovery at the moment?
Try contacting the moderator dang by email to hn@ycombinator.com . It's the preferred method and it's usually faster and more reliable because sometimes they don't find the thread. (It's midnight now, you may have to wait until USA working hours.)
It turns out I created the reset link from one machine and followed it from another. This allowed a condition to exist that could not possibly exist if I had used just one machine. The moderator explained it to me and now I'm back in business.
