Ok, so I had to reset my password since I forgot it. Only to realize that it goes to a now dead and inactive e-mail account (akhasan@zoomnet.net). I did end up finding a text file on a backup harddrive with "non-critical" passwords; one of them is Anandtech forums and it turns out to be somewhat critical. :) Of course, the only problem is that the password has already been reset. At this point, all I have to prove my identity is the old password and my name. The e-mail address this account is tied to can be checked against the University of Michigan student/faculty database (just head to umich.edu and choose to search the database) and its the same as the old account; the name is fairly unique. I would certainly appreciate any help. It's just that weird hardware problems seem to be Anandtecher's specialty, and I happen to have one -- posted elsewhere.

yeah, just PM or email MOD and your new account will be locked and your old one will be unlocked...if MOD deems it worthy of unlocking.
