>> I am confused by your Q I only got an email with the password that I had set up when I joined. Why would you need another password ??. <<
every ticket you buy entitles you to a "virtual membership" to rs.com (it doesn't provide any presale privileges or DVD or anything, just access to the website). if you already have a membership you can give these away to people. but first you need to get the passwords for them from rs.com.
