Thanks for all your help. The problem is: My friend can't get PM ID# which include his bitcoin address.
My friend did send PMs including his bitcoin address, but it happened three years ago.
Since he can't access his account now, how can he find the PM ID#?
He checked his related email box, but can't find any (maybe deleted)
All he can remember is during which month he sent these PMs. Is that kinda of proof?

If he knows which month that should be ok. Paired with the account name and the Bitcoin address it shouldn't be too difficult to track the PM down for an admin. If that's all he has he should go with that. It should be fine, but he might have to wait a while before he gets a response.

Yes, He can recover the account, First he can use forget password option see if it helps him. otherwise, if any address is assigned with your profile you can ask Theymos to recover it.

The best way is to get your friends account, which is connected to yours, and write message to give account back to you.

Usually the PMs get sent to your e-mail. I don't know if the ID shows up though. If he knows an approximate date of when the PM was sent, and maybe even the recipient's name that should be ok though. Just tell him to add as much information as he possibly can.
He should also take some time to carefully think of all the information he could possibly provide, because the admins seem to get flooded with requests, so he will want to make sure that his one shot counts. Don't send a ton of PMs, it will probably work against him.

If any Bitcoin address is directly associated with your friends Bitcoin account and he still has access to the private keys, he can sign a message and send it in a PM to one of the admins. They will then eventually restore it if your friend can prove ownership of the account.
