  2. Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

    Site was pwnd not so long ago resulting in a general member password reset
    so unless you reset your password since then your old account password wont work.
    Try contacting one of the admins to see if they can help you out

    Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

    1) I hope I haven't broken the rules
    2) I created a new account because I couldn't remember the password to the old one
    3) Not sure. I like the 2005 reg date in a vanity sense and I was doing some lookup stuff with that account to trouble shoot my friend's pc (friend bought my old opteron / 7800GT rig) back in 2009.

    Okay its probably hopeless then. *Frown how can i reset a password on an account that belongs to an admin account :(.
