Trouble logging in?
If you don't have a BigOven.com recipe archive login, you can get one for free here.  

You don't have to buy the software to use access the recipe archive at www.bigoven.com

"I cannot log in to the Recipe Archive."

  • Forgotten your BigOven.com recipe archive password?  We can re-send it to you.
  • Have you enabled cookies on your browser?  Your browser needs to be able to accept cookies in order to log in. 
  • A few other things to try:
    1)  Make sure your firewall has "BigOven" on its list of allowed programs
    2)  Go into IE and make sure that Cookies are allowed -- Tools/Internet Options in IE; in IE7 you need to go into the Advanced tab.
    3)  Go into IE's Tools/Internet Options/Security, and click on the "Trusted Sites" zone and add both http://www.bigoven.com and http://bigoven.com

  • Haven't yet signed up to use the archive?  Sign up; it's free!
  • We often hear from BigOven for Windows purchasers that they are trying to enter their Windows application serial number that they purchased in as their password, or that they are expecting a password to be created and emailed to them when they purchase.  We don't do that -- you need to sign up to use the archive, whether you purchase the desktop recipe software or not; this allows people to try it out without purchasing the program.
