Have you tried to recover your password? It'd send an email to the email linked with it, and if you can access the email, you can change the password.

If you think (and you have evidence) that your account is hacked, you may send a PM to theymos proving it is yours (PGP signature, if you used it on the account, or sign an address that belongs to the account).

I think there was a thread somewhere about it, but I can't find it right now...

If you are unable to recover your account through conventional means (email address), this seems to be your next best option. Hope things work out for you.

As I understand this all if you have no PGP key then you lost your account and its unrecoverable not create new and not think about old one because ad-min already clears this without PGP he is not going to help any one

What is the username of your other account? If you click on the trust (you can only do this when you are logged in) then you can see if the password was changed in the last 3 days or reset in the last 30 days.
