@Oliver-Salzburg Sorry, just saw your message
I cannot retrieve my pass since all I have is a username/password combination. I think I used the same email account for both accounts so, a reset password link will reset only my new account
@OliverSalzburg I should, however, be able to login using the old user/password combination if such a login page is still available. If not, no worries, it is not that important, I just have a couple of answers on that account. It's just mildly annoying :)
00:38
@terdon If you log out, you will be able to log in with another username/password
Then you could go to your profile and click my logins
There you could add the OpenID provider of your new account
If you can confirm that the other count actually belongs to you (by reclaiming it), we can simply merge the old account into your new one and you will regain control over all your content from the old account.
@Olivier thanks, I tried
however, since the account was created before SE switched to openID, I used to log in with just a plain username (terdon) NOT an email
all the login pages I've found ask for either an openID or an email address
@terdon You have to click the Log in with StackExchange button
tried that one too (I think), gimme a sec, it is late after all
@terdon Indeed :)
00:54
OK, nope, doesn't work
So, I have used one of 3 (maybe 4) email addresses to create the old account
@terdon It was a yahoo address
I am retrying the whole process now on a different browser in case it is cookie problem
ah! was it? Cool
I just tried to reset that one, it logged me on using my yahoo mail but did not show the answers I know I have posted with that account so I figured it was wrong
I'll just try that one again then
I can tell you the mail address if that helps
@terdon That would help :)
that the one?
So, you should be able to reset your password through superuser.com/help/lost-password
Correct
00:57
Well no, I tried that
@terdon what happens?
I received an email allowing me to change the password
I am now logged in with that account
I do not see that I have posted any answers ever
@terdon That's weird
plus it seems to have been created 5 days ago, the account I am trying to recover was about a year ago
Let me check something
00:59
sure, and thanks by the way, I appreciate this
Seems like you have 3 accounts ;)
That's the one you're using right now
yup
no idea where that comes from
I am trying to recover another one, hang on I'll give you the link
wow! you guys have implemented ms word pesky paper clip helper on the chat!!? wow :)
:D
@terdon Yeah, I assumed that was the only other account.
seems not...
You wrote that you emailed someone about this already?
Where did you send the mail to?
01:03
yup
ummm
used the form, it was on one of the links you gave me here also
[email protected] would be the correct address to my understanding
ok, I'll try that but I guess that is probably where the mail went through the web based system
They told me earlier they did not see any message regarding this matter (I discussed it with some team members).
ah...
Umm, I am using an alternative OS called linux that sometimes has problems with pages written for internet explorer ;)
Dunno, I'll try and send them an email again
Heh :) I hope our network sites are accessible to all browsers.
01:05
if not, nothing is scared, nothing!
sacred
ok, clearly getting too late, starting to ramble
Thanks. I'd appreciate it if we could get all the accounts merged up :) If there are any further issues, feel free to ping me on chat anytime :)
I really appreciate your help, I'll try ans email them again
I will if I can't sort it out
thanks for your time
You're welcome. Have a nice evening :)
cheers
