    Can't access main

    I had a main from 2012 named @RotMGAbid
    Or something like that.
    A few months ago I couldn't access it anymore.
    I thought it'd work if I waited a while.
    But I still can't access it.

    All passwords were changed due to a database leak back in October 2015, use the forgot password option to recover the account.

    Thanks.
    The problem now is, I know the email I registered with, but it's locked. Is there any way I can change the email just by knowing it?

    Post the email of the account for confirmation, if correct, I'll ask for a new email to change it to, it cannot be in use by any other MPGH account.

    No way.
    What letter does the email start and end with?
    And is it a keyboard smash?
    Cause if so then I'm pretty much fucked.
    And did I verify it?

    "A" and "7" and it doesn't seem to be, and yes it's verified.

    I've only had 3 emails in my life and that's none of them. Man that's depressing.
    The only explanation is that it's been compromised.
    What website is the email hosted on? Hotmail.com? And can you check the email history?
    And if you can check the email history, can you see the emails that weren't verified?

    EDIT: Actually I don't think that's my account. Pretty sure I had posts on my account. I think it had Abid in the name and the email was je(...)ni2@hotmail.com. I can PM you the full email. If you don't believe that it's my account then I can send you the hotmail account's password as well. It's locked.

    You should just send a "forgotten password" to all those emails ?

    Yes, I did. And I found its email, and it just happened to be locked. And he said it was incorrect. Meaning that @RotMGAbid is just another account with a similar name. So I PMed him the full email so he could change it.

    PS, that thread is made by the account I'm ON right now. Not the account I lost.

    I can see that , if the email is locked you should try contacting Hotmail to unlock it, They should respond in about 1 day. It's obvious that the email you have doesn't go with the account you're @'ing . Not sure if it's possible to find accounts by email, but i've usually been surprised by what the admins can do.

    Liz is a lady btw,(if you were referring to her when you said he), hint the princess tag. Good luck on getting your account back.

    The account that matches the email you gave me is not the one you claimed in the OP. It matches the account @MrDrac

    Problem solved! Turns out RotmgAbid was a friend's account. We have similar aliases so I'd assumed that it was my account. MrDrac is definitely one of my aliases. Thanks!
