If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You can loosen the clamps on the forks and slide the forks up until they hit the handlebars to lower the front a bit.
You can get some shorter shocks to lower the rear a bit.
You can shave the foam in the seat to narrow the front so you don't have to spread your legs so far at a stop.
That makes it feel like it's been lowered.
By the way, my wife is 5' 4" and rides her 850L just fine.

You will get used to it with time, I had to do the same with other sports bikes.
The seat can be shaved down and recovered as said below...
