How to correctly recover the account.

I know the format which this.

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...
OR
I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...

But when I sign a message using blockchain.info I got this format. Is this still valid? How to sign a message with the same format above?

Code:
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.

<insert address here>
<insert signature here>

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...
OR
I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...

How long the recovery process take?

Is theymos the only who can recover an account?

You can just add those "-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----" lines back, and check if you have done it right on brainwallet page (https://brainwallet.github.io/#verify).

Yes, theymos is the only one can help you in this case.
No idea how much time is needed, but I did read people waiting for days and weeks without any reply (not sure if they sent the PM in correct way though)...
