You'll need to sign a message from a staked address as explained in this thread: Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0)

Is RACT (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381479) your account? If so, sign a message from this address:

any giveaway to test it?  159WcohcDb2qMPLoEHnZ82uwtrZTcB8uip

You only got a chance to recover your account if you do what I said above. There is no alternative way.

Even so, you will have to wait long time before admins take attention. I don't even remember last recovered accounts after being lost. By following the instructions here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0 , you are making the first step in a long journey of wait. Tons of threads about hacked/lost/locked accounts are daily updated in Meta section with no hint from admins.
If you are lucky, you may get your signed message verified by a Mod but this would change no facts.
Never forget to lock your account with the link in the email you received after the hack occured, so that hackers can't use the account until ownership verification (if ever happened). For now, you just have to prove ownership of the hacked account and just wait :)
