Ask HN: could someone please help me regain access to my HN account?

[delan-temp]

Foolishly, I tried out HN's "email yourself a new password" link just to see how it was implemented and what the email would look like, even though I hadn't really forgotten my password. It's been two days now, and I haven't received an email with my new password, even after trying again. Has this functionality worked for anyone else? Is there someone I can contact to allow me to use my account again?

I have a feeling that this could be due to me not entering an email address for my account, though I really thought I did. My account name is delan, if that's helpful.

Although I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask, I've just sent an email to [e-mail] as well.

I am not sure it will help, but have you tried the whole pretending to login without a password method of getting a forgotten password email sent to you?

Good luck, sorry if this isn't of use.

Thanks for the advice, and yes, I have. I also clicked the "email yourself a new password" link that appears after logging in without a password. Sadly, no emails yet.
