Are you trying to withdraw coin or do you have PIN enabled for purchasing?
Either way... reach out to AB support, create a ticket and sit tight.

OP unfortunately /u/alphabaysupport is right. They don't know if you are the original account holder or phished someone. They are in a bad position to help you.
We can't help you without the mnemonic. This is why we write a big red warning and force users to copy their mnemonic in a field when validating it.
Let's see what this usually means. Let's look at a sentence in "alphabay" Language:
"Hello, I wanted to withdraw some money but unfortunately forgot my PIN. For some reason, the mnemonic was stored on a hard drive that also crashed. It was also my first deposit. Can anyone help?"
Now, let's translate this to "English":
"Hello, I just phished this account through one of my phishing links. The guy was dumb enough to fall for it, but I only have his password. Please give me a new PIN so I can quickly withdraw his money before he makes a ticket to report what happened".
