The thread you linked to is for people that can't reset their password via the email address associated with their forum account. I could do that if I needed to because I do still have access to the email address associated with my forum account. However, I don't need to reset my password. I know my password.
Look. I completely understand how confusing, and frustrating this situation is. I know
because I had to do the same EXACT thing. I still had my password too. Thousands of accounts got locked. They were locked to protect users from getting their accounts Hacked/Stolen, from the database PASSWORD leak. This thread is a result from the leak:
Tomatocage's stake thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0 Now, take a look through the Meta section. Ignore the spammy merit posts, and you'll see, dozens of posts regarding Hacked or Stolen accounts. People STEAL accounts here, for the sake of making money, and it's a Cancer in this forum. It happens everyday.
In order to get ANY admin or mods to help you, proof of ownership is going to be required. Regardless of the fact, that your account wasn't hacked or stolen. Edit: Also, that account was last active: May 27, 2018, 09:56:19 PM. Which was YESTERDAY.
Here is the last post of an address:
