Look at the sticky in meta for the guide.
Sorry but where can I get this "meta"?
Lol, here Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords i have same problem, but i can't find my old address, so there is no way to get it back.
I can find it for you. Link me the profile of that account. I will look at it if there is a posted bitcoin address.

You need to sign an address which you posted with that account, and send it to cyrus. Look at the sticky in meta for the guide. Don't expect a reply any time soon though, as loads of people are requesting the same thing so he likely has a backlog.
I've got the same issue. Really annoying that the message says to email, but not that this procedure is in place. I didn't couple my bitcoin address, so I've got no way to recover. Any suggestions on other ways of proving ownership? Btw. My email address never changed, shouldn't the database confirm this even after the hashes got stolen?

If the hashes did get stolen, then they also know your email. Which, a lot of people use the same password for multiple websites, which means emails could of been compromised too. There isn't any other way to prove ownership other than signing an address.

Ok, thank you for clarifying this for me. Than I'll just continue on this account.

Trying to log with my old account I get:
>Sorry %username%, you are banned from using this forum!
>Your account is locked because it sat inactive for years after the password hashes were leaked in 2015, and was therefore at high risk of being hacked.

I sent mail to address [email protected] without any response. I want my old account.
