Title: Main account is locked out. Help required with recovery Post by: castonrecovery on March 06, 2018, 05:23:56 AM Hello,
My account: "caston" has been locked out as someone has successfully guessed the answer to my secret Q. I can change my password back but this does not help me get my account back as the account stays locked. I cannot change my secret question and the attempts to reset through my e-mail do not work as apparently my email address was never confirmed. I do, however, get emailed each time the hacker gets on and changes my password. I have e-mail Theymos several times but he has not got back to me. Is here something else I can do to get my account back? Title: Re: Main account is locked out.

If you didn't provide proof of owning it, then simply follow this sticky thread (Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0)).Is here something else I can do to get my account back? Take note: Account recoveries, takes a very long time (usually few months on average). On a side note: Looks like the account was sold (based on its trust ratings (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=4480)). This thread belongs to "Meta".

If Cyrus doesn't respond after two weeks, you can try sending a PM to theymos instead. When sending a PM, use a template like this:
Quote -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>. -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- <insert address here> <insert signature here> -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ... OR I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#... All required info must be in one PM. Do not create your temporary account using the same email address you want for the hacked/lost account. No two accounts can have the same email address.

Yes, you need to sign an old bitcoin address(old enough) to claim your account back. Good Luck Title: Re: Main account is locked out.

If I've understood his issue this will be an issue for the admins. I can unlock accounts with proof but I can't reset details or secret questions and if op can't change it then the hacker will just keep gaining access via that. |
