For some reason my account on the main Stack Overflow website seems to have reverted to becoming user{number} with all my profile data (INCLUDING OpenID information) wiped out. The thing is I cannot reset the account anymore nor rename the account, login, or perform any actions.

It definitely is related to this issue, but I cannot reset the account anymore. When I try to login using my OpenID, I get asked to create a new account. I do not want to do this, and I would like to keep my existing reputation and questions.

No e-mail was set, so I can't use the "send info to email" link.

  • It appears there may be some complications due to the downtime and data loss that occurred recently. Like I did, I recommend reaching out to Stack Overflow support directly. They should be able to assist you in recovering your account and retaining your existing reputation and questions.

For any oddball cases like this, you can't go wrong with e-mailing [email protected]. You hardly even need to write anything beyond a pointer to this question.
