Request for password reset for CentralAuth User:Textorus
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I am a 12-year veteran Wikipedia editor who has inadvertently gotten myself locked out of my account, user:Textorus. I have already stated the details of this predicament at the Administrators' Noticeboard twice:

5 July: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive300#Login_help_needed,_please

7 August: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Login_help_needed_for_Textorus,_continued

In response to the last appeal for help, Admin user: xaosflux gave me the help I needed to make this "bug" report.

So can you fellows please reset my user:Textorus password so I can continue with my original account? I am aware that the "rules" say I am out of luck in this situation. But I am hoping that an exception can be made for a mature, responsible editor who has contributed thousands of hours to this project over the years, and would like to continue doing so.

You can contact me via my new (and I hope temporary) talk page at user:Textorus2, or via the email address associated with Textorus2. Thanks in advance for any help. Textorus

Hi there - thanks for filing this task. I'm satisfied this is a legitimate request. I have changed the email to match that used for Textorus2 - please now use that to log into your account. Thanks.

Thank you so much, jrbs. I've just logged back in to the old account with a new password and looks like I'm good to go now. Consider yourself the recipient of the Kind to Old Geezers Barnstar.
