Do I already have a dx-open.com Username?

If you have been notified about a transaction via email, you already have a dx-open.com Username. Your Username was listed in the email salutation. If you do not have access to this email, or have not received a notification via email, click "I forgot my Username" to retrieve your Username via email. If your email address is not on record, you do not have a dx-open.com Username.

If I have forgotten my Username or password, should I register again?

No. If you already have a dx-open.com Username, you should not register again. Instead, please click "I forgot my Username or password" to proceed.

What should I do if my account has been "locked out"?

Your account will be locked out if you enter the wrong Username and password combination too many times. To unlock your account, you must reset your password.

Miscellaneous

How do I uncompress ZIP files on a Mac?

The built-in macOS Archive Utility program, which by default is used to open ZIP files on Macs, is well known to have many problems that prevent it from working correctly. It is strongly recommended that a 3rd-party utility be used instead. DebtX recommends The Unarchiver, which is available free of charge on the Mac App Store.

To install The Unarchiver on your Mac computer:
  1. Open the following link in your web browser: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353
  2. Click on "View in Mac App Store". This will launch the App Store application.
  3. Click on the "Get" button. This will download and install the application on your Mac.
To make The Unarchiver the default application for opening ZIP files:
  1. In the Finder application, right-click on any ZIP file and select "Get Info".

    Select "Get Info" from the right-click context menu of a .zip file in Finder view

  2. Find the "Open with:" section and find The Unarchiver.app in the drop down list.

    Set the "Open with" application in the Info dialog of a .zip file

  3. Click the "Change All..." button and then select "Continue" to make it the default application.
