The solution I thought I had attained to logging in to old workplace email turned out to involve Weirdnesses when I tried the next time to log in (siiiggghhh): but before I got embroiled in lengthy negotiation with IT support, I thought I'd just try that thing of trying the reset in a different browser, a trick I have found to work for other similar difficulties, and believe it or not, This One Simple Trick actually did the trick, and I have managed to log in on consecutive days without undue bother.
