Account is Locked or not accessible

[hmblm1245-2]

On September 22nd, 2016 i was not able to log into my account hmblm1245. I attempted to reset my password and which likely locked the account. I sent over my info from this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0 but screwed up my first attempt (did not put anything in the signed part, doh). I have since sent of another corrected signed message last week to cyrus, but have not heard anything. Is there anyway of knowing if my account is locked/banned or other? I am not sure if i need to do anything else.

Thanks,
hmblm1245

[UPDATE]

I assume that the PMID mentioned here "I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#..." would be a "pmesg=" in the URL that is often referenced in email. But also not sure.

Did you try to reset the password using the secret question ? If yes,you're locked out of your account!It's a known bug.

I have since sent of another corrected signed message last week to cyrus, but have not heard anything.

Relax.Since recovering accounts is one of the least priorities,you might have to wait a little longer.Little as in Days,Weeks,Months...no one knows. (depends on your luck,actually)

Thanks for the update. I think i did try reset using the security question, and then found out that those accounts auto lock after trying. I'll sit tight and check back every week or so. I was also not sure how long it normally takes. I was hoping about a week or so but i guess it could take weeks/months hopefully not years

Its been a while and i have not heard anything. I sent a PM to Cyrus with a successfully signed message. Is there any update?

Hey Cyrus,

I sent a PM on September 28th regarding my hacked/lost account. When you get a chance could you unlock that account please?

thanks,

There is already an advisory to not use the secret question here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206977.0
I think they shoul put it somewhere that anyone can read so everyone will stop using the secret question. I also got my account locked and luckility it took only 2 weeks for me to get my access back.

2 WEEKS?! oh my god -.- THAT SUCKSSSSS

Yes, mine has been since September 22nd but i dint know how to reset it til the 28th. Seems long but I also understand that security is a huge deal and should be especially related to newer technology like BTC.

I had no idea that trying the secret question will get you locked out of your account. I almost tried that not to long ago. Can't they code a warning?

[Douglazzz]

Maybe your account is hack or you forget to remember your password. 

[hmblm1245-2]

Nope. I know the last logon time. i was looking at something when i went offline.

[hmblm1245-2]

Its been forever since my account got locked. Any update?

[hmblm1245-2]

Could Cyrus please unlock my account please.

Thanks,

[hmblm1245-2]

So any hope in unlocking my account?

[hmblm1245-2]

Just checking again to see if anyone can unlock my account. Been locked since September .

Can you post and/or PM me the signed message along with where your address can be found? (I would prefer that you sign a message with today's date).

If you do the above, then I will contact the admins on your behalf to try to get your account restored back to you. Although I cannot make any promises, it looks like you rank quite high up there in terms of time spent online, and I can ask that restoring your account be given some level of priority because of this.

I sent a PM to all of the admins for you with your signed message, along with a note that I was asking them to look into your situation for you, and noted how much time you have spent on the forum.

Hopefully they will look into your situation for you!

Thanks again for going to bat for me. Much appreciated.
