What if the email that was used in the account is not active anymore what would be the next alternative. I see that the message that would be sent to the email has to be the email associated to that account. Or am i wrong?
no you're right it's actually recommended to use a valid email when creating address, I'm actually looking for a thread were Theymos spoke about this but will do that later since I can't find it nowif you forget your password or something like that
try use d email wey Dem take dey reset password. try make sure say d email no dey go enter your spam folder. if dat one no work, email [email protected] from d Bitcointalk account email address. put your username name. we go need your signature (get down).

So if you have your email, forgot password can easily be used for the recovery. I do not know why theymos said signature is required. I thought before that signature will be required if you are not able to have access to your email and not remember your password or your account is hacked.
Maybe because hackers might have gotten access to the User email and try to request for password reset I guessed that would be the need for this
