I messed up my password and locked my account.
I was changing my browser and had forgotten my password, and made too many attempts, and this resulted in my account being banned.
username: binmon
Trying to get help in removing the ban.
Thank you

I was not aware that trying your password too many times would ban your account. Is this true?

I want to make sure everyone knows that I just released my software called "Yobit pump alert". THis is custom software that uses an algo to detect the start of a pump here on yobit, the second it starts. YOu can even filter the coins you see by price. Most pumps start less than 100 sats , so you can easily filter the cheap coins, so they are the only ones displayed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1945937.msg20241953#msg20241953

It was probably automatically locked as a possible hack. You probably need to request a mod to unlock but, I am not sure how you do that. They have to get so many email though. Don't know how they keep up.

There really is only one way you can recover your account, pm theymos and badbear about the situation and make sure you provide a signed message from an address linked with the binmon account to prove ownership. After a few months you will get a response. Yes, months

If I had to guess then I would say that the OP probably clicked on "forgot password" and attempted to reset his PW via his security question. The OP will most likely need to provide a signed message from an address associated with his account to get it back. In the meantime he is free to make another account and/or use another account and use it freely. (this is assuming that the reason for his ban was in fact because he reset his PW and not because he broke some other rule)

Which then takes a admin to unlock it.

The problem is there are only 2 global mods that Im aware of that can recover an account and thats badbear and Theymos, and Im sure they are extremley busy. Vegas

Well, there is one thing I do know.........
This is a real pain.
Guess this comes as a result of being lazy and storing the pw in the browser, so one tends to forget it....
So, a take-off from the TV ad: "What's in your password window"? Make sure you know!

Signed message is best everyone should stake an address. If you did not do it did you do any deals on forum where you happened to post a bitcoin address? If so sign a message with that address and point to it. Staking is best though due to someone quoting it next, so a "bad guy" cant change it. But that does not really apply in this case.

Why don't you open another account in the mean time. I hope your rank in the old account is not yet high If it is, you would have to PM theymos and bad bear as it has been said and wait for some months..

I also got locked my account once. Badbear responded in a short time and solved the situation very well.
Also pm'ed Theymos but he didn't respond. Your chances with badbear is a lot higher i say.
But my situation happened almost a year ago.

That was when they had time on their hands and people weren't used to get their accounts locked every now and then.In the OP's case ,I think his account is mostly banned and chances of recovering are zero.
