as you know, bitcointalk was hacked, not your password forgot or stolen..

"Bitcointalk was hacked last year and all of it’s user data including hashed passwords surfaced for sale on the darknet.
Many Bitcointalk accounts have been compromised and hashed passwords were cracked"

Hello,

After I asked a moderator about it, and read https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545  (I never public any wallet, so I don't think I need to sign any message) so I open this post.

My old user is https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitmadrid-173136

When I tried to recover my password I get the following error:

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, this account has not yet been approved. If you need to change your email address please

This is not true, my account was approved and I used my account several times as you can see in my posts. I didn't connect to the forum from December 2014 or January 2015 as far as I remember.
I would like to recover my password.

Could an admin just "unlock" my user to set up my password again, please?

Thank you.
