David,

Might I do the re-installation?

I was thinking about it but I didn't; just to avoid getting immerse in a
potential change of password procedure. Currently, I am working under
Windows XP SP2, and when I upgraded to Mathematica 5.0, I was under XP SP1
(The same OS for Microsoft, but who knows if the same environment for
Wolfram). I feared this change could affect the Math ID and then the
password, so I didn't.

Have you tried re-installing Mathematica 5.0?
