You lost your password for another account? I think the only way you can get it back is by signing a message. See this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

That is correct. You can also try using the forgotten password feature.
Although OP, it sounds like you're trying to get back an account you gave for collateral for a loan.

Mods can't help you in this situation. The only person can help you is theymos.

If you have put one of your addresses in your posts or PMs, you could follow the steps in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0 and send theymos with all the required info.

Hey.  Why won't you just use a forgotten password tool.
I was reseting my password many times.

Why you cannot do it?

Maybe he has registered the account with a false email address?
In fact, you could enter some BS like (eg6136acjgri@gmail.com) in the email address field, as there is no need for email activation. :)

If LYCAN did that it is now a problem for him and perhaps this is a reason why it is quite important to use valid e-mails even if you will even create a new one just for recovering a pass purposes :)

But perhaps if it was really his account Theymos will solve the problem.

Regards.

We should have 2FA authentication after so many complains of hacked accounts. It is a necessity in the better interest of the forum and email validation sud be done to prevent useless and inactive accounts, besides sockpuppets

Weren't you posting about buying or selling an account a few days ago? Sounds like you're trying to scam someone out of an account.

Yep.

hi guys i m selling an member status account at very cheap rates if someone interstedt let know..

Forgot to mention the price is 0.045.. market price is 0.05 :) thnkx

That's the trouble with buying accounts. The seller can get it back any time. They've got nothing to lose in attempting to do so.

Probably is trying to regain access back to an account that he sold.

Another reason why selling accounts isn't va good thing.

I hope that situations like that one will clearly explain why selling/buying bitcointalk accounts isn't a good habit.

Hmmm...

As agreed via our skype conversation:

I will loan you 0.08BTC for 3 days, 5% total interest
You will put up a full member account as collateral (password / email changed) until 0.084BTC is returned to this address:
1GbWE5S4n8ksZ59QcqpbDR7QtWrBWhaYfW

If payment takes more than 3 days, interest rate goes up to 10%.

Please confirm that you agree, and once the account is in escrow funds will be sent to the address you specify below

Though the deal seems to have been completed.

Gave user a 0.08 loan, was a bit slow on repayment and didn't repay in pure btc. As far as collateral goes, this is a decent offer, likely .12 worth of collateral not .15 but it's still 120%.

What's the loan for, and what interest are you willing to pay?

Though maybe he gave the account as part of the payment.

You saying you has evidence that the current owner of the account is AcoinL.L.C? Or that this is another OP's id?

Can't understand.

And LYCAN announced a member account sell, not a full member

It may have been better if mods had asked OP for details of alleged lost account, rather than accusing him straight out of being a scammer. This way, we may have been able to establish the truth.

Now I fear we'll never know.

Well we will or we will not. But this is truly showing how bad is to sell account.

Even if you have multiple accounts after you sell one you are losing reliability.
Which I think is very important for a member if he really want to be a part of the community.

This is a lesson for those who are selling\buying accounts.  Better don't do that so no future mistakes and problems will occur.

Nobody accused him of anything, but rather voiced their suspicions.

Selling or buying accounts is always going to be a risky business and you do so at your own peril. The simplest solution is not to buy an account, but if you do then you've taken the risk of doing so. The best you can do is buy from someone who has done a few successful trades before, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

Whether he was formally accused or not isn't really relevant to the point I was trying to make. Rather that it would have been better to get the account details before "voicing your suspicions", so we could establish whether this was an attempted scam or not.

This is true, but what are we to do. This has been argued to death already. I guess you could give Lycan a neg rep since it's likely he'll sell this account too at some point.
