5 days ago I got two emails:
"Email address changed"

"Dear Technologov,

Your Bitcoin Forum ([Suspicious link removed] to CunoRania66120@gmail.com by IP address 78.182.14.126. If you did not do this, then you can visit the following link within 14 days in order to lock the account:

[mod edit: private link removed]

Note that you will NOT be asked for your password at that URL.

Regards,

and "Password changed"

"Dear Technologov,

Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) password was just changed by IP address 78.182.14.126. If you did not do this, then you should use the forgotten password feature to change your password.

Regards,
The Bitcoin Forum Team."

Can anyone help me restore my original account, "Technologov" ? Or contact forum administrator ?
I tried to reset my password, to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I hope that you've locked the account first and foremost, what you should do next is follow this guide to the letter: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

Send that information over to cyrus and you should be able to recover it, but beware there's a hefty queue of accounts that need recovering so it could take a while for a response.
