Title: Forgot password, screwed, have $600 on account of btc, and NEED HELP
Post by: lovestory420 on March 03, 2012, 02:32 am
 Last night I changed my password  while I was very tired after work and didn't write it down. I can now not remember it I have tried every combination, idea, EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF. I have 123 btc about $600 on it and I am completely freaking out. I have no idea how to access my account. The only thing I could think of was to make another account and message the SR 'contact us' people.. i did this over 7 hours ago and still no response.. I am thinking I am screwed. Is this true? Is my account forever inaccessible with all that money on it? Or will SR people eventually contact me back and give me a password or something?

I told them thing I had purchased with the account and who the sellers were as well as how many deposits and how much *roughly* each deposit had on it that went into my account. I sent them the code for depositing btc into the account, I sent them my personal information like my name and address. I sent them my orders I had done and names (spelt wrong cuz i have bad memory) of sellers and my pin number and what my old password was.

Still no email. Was it enough that I sent? Can they even help me? Can anyone on here tell me what I need to do to get password back? I have been messaging SR support or whatever on 'Lovehug' account. Anyway. Im screwed, please tell me if theres anything I Can do to get my account back. Thanks.

the situation sucks for sure but rest assure your BTC Is not gone so nothing to be worried about, now if you had deleted the wallet.dat file then i would say your shit out of luck but this is just a sit and wait type of deal,

just sit breathe and i hope you had some stuff in stock cause smoke up and relaxing is all you can do!!

hope the best comes out of the situation

If you had previously posted your pgp key here in the forum, make sure you use that key to sign your message to them. I recently forgot my PIN (yeah I'm one of those guys), but a signed message with that key and they were able to verify my identity quickly and reset my PIN with no hassles.
