+--- Thread: [Account Help] Can't reset password on my account? (/showthread.php?tid=5412670)
Can't reset password on my account? - Razel_temp - Sep 22, 2016
Okay so without writing a paragraph of backstory, I had some stuff happen in my life and was unavailable to do shit, including browsing the internet, for over a year, and puff, I'm back now.
My original account is this one:
uid=615360 (can't post the link since I just created this acc)
I tried to login, but seems I forgot my old password. I tried resetting it but it keeps saying that i'm typing in an invalid e-mail address (@hotmail.com).
What's happening here? According to my profile page my account hasn't been logged into since Feb 2015 (that was me) so I surely wasn't hacked, and my mail is nowhere near compromised. (I have full access to it and constantly check for suspicious logins)
I assumed hotmail was eventually blacklisted for some reason, but I have no mails from HF claiming so (if they were ever sent)
Sorry for the LQ post, I'm aware this should've been resolved through the contact form, but I didn't receive a response (I waited over 24h, I hope that's enough to justify this thread)
Edit: Also please excuse my stupid username not matching the USERNAME_temp pattern, I didn't notice I wrote my own username wrong until I posted this)

There's a lot of issues with both hotmail and yahoo emails apparently.
Omni should get back to your contact form within a couple days cus sometimes he gets busy.
Your account might get repkilled too, fair warning.

You may be using the wrong email. You may not remember but you changed it.
From trust scan:

Or maybe he didn't forget his old password, but was entering the wrong email.

Well, I'm bumped. I have to admit I don't really remember much of that period, but I'll go through all of my personal mails (have ~5 of them that COULD be the one linked to HF, if I actually did change my email)
Thanks for the input, I'll post back if I get any progress.
Edit: Also if any admin is looking at this, could you check if my linked email is [email protected] ?
I'm 99% sure it's that one, I created the account with that mail.
I seriously doubt my account got stolen or anything, there are no posts that aren't made specifically by me on that accounts post history.

If you view your accounts Trust scan you changed your email in 2013, try reset it with another one of your emails.

I guess you just need to look through your emails, find the one associated w/ this HF account and then reset the password.

Clue: You didn't use a Hotmail email address.
