I used the same password, and did never hit the "forgot password" button...
Were your 'personal ID' on the Welcome letter and the one you had before you submitted your application the same? It used to be that you couldn't get in to Track until you'd received your Welcome letter, because it included a new ID number, and the 'workaround' was to go down the 'I've forgotten my password' route. People who were a long way off and desperate to get in to Track and see what was happening used it a lot!
If UCAS has now changed it so that you just have the one number, excellent

The ID numbers were the same to me. I logged onto Track successfully by copying the ID from the UCAS Apply page as well as using the same login details.
In other words, I have had access to Track since the 26th of September, but received my welcome letter at the 30th.
I got into track without my welcome letter, by putting in my username/password and hitting 'lost ID' button, they sent an email with it in which I used and got in no problem.
Seriously though, the waiting is killing me already. How I will last til March or whenever is doubtful right now...
I did this. I logged on to track the day my school sent my form off. And it was the same password, username and ID. And I didn't get my welcome letter until 2 days later.

oh dear..
When was your application sent to UCAS? Remember that they need up to a few days to process the application before you're able to log onto Track.
lol well I'm being a bit keen I suppose... it was sent about 4 hours ago... woops
You'll have it by tomorrow afternoon then, I believe! They won't notify you by email, but some universities send an acknowledgement email very quick – The (very swift) email from Bath was the first sign of my application being completely processed by UCAS.
How long before I hear anything? Nobody can say. Some people get offers within 48 hours; others wait for weeks or months without hearing anything, not even an acknowledgement. Where used (many unis and/or courses don't send them) acknowledgements are generated automatically and their timing and content is of no significance whatsoever.
Who on earth gets an offer within 48 hours?!??!!?!
I wish my school would stop pissing around with my reference the headteacher's had it since Friday, should've thought that would have given her time to give it a cursory glance and send it off...
