in reply to How can I regain access to my account?

If you know your log-in name and password, that should still work.

Or do you mean someone actually changed your password?

    AFAIR, all accounts that were compromised have had their password changed and emailed to them.

      And, that may be problematical.

      I have had two or three different "permanent" e-mail addresses in the past ten years. I once took an ISP up on their offer of "just one address, forever". Six months later they got bought by of one the Baby Bells and suddenly I was no longer mumble@myISP.com but, first mumble@myISP.kwest.com, then mumble@kwest.com, nine months later. And mail to the old addresses were only forwarded for a year.

      If the OP is in my bucket, it is entirely possible that the email about the change got dropped into /dev/null somewhere.

      I finally hooked up with the ACM's forwarder, so now my permanent address is mumble@acm.org. So long as I remember to update my ACM profile when I move service, my email will always forward to the right address.

      I know I have changed my password but I cannot remember having received another password through e-mail. Probably a sign of old age: it is the memory that goes first. :)
