For the last three days I've been unable to log in to any of the Stack Exchange sites.
I use MyOpenID and I've been having this similar problem: Is something wrong with the myOpenID
I made the mistake of adding (so I thought) a Stack Exchange login (my email + password + the same username). However, I think I created a new one that conflicts to the openID user that I managed to get working again.
But, I lost all my badges and tags (most of the badges are returning (with today's date)), and also my flag weight is lost:

NOTE: This only happened on my SO account, all other accounts are ok!
What can I do to return to my old state? I just deleted the SE login and after several logouts am sure I have logged in with openID.
UPDATE: The tags are back. But I'm still missing two silver badges and one gold badge. I assume SO will "return" it as it did with the tags. Also, I also lost all my tag preferences. The flag weight, I can't be sure, I can't find it anywhere.
UPDATE 2: Some days have passed since this happened, and from what I understand, the badges came at the same time (probably the way SO tried to solve this), but I definitely lost my Fanatic gold badge, Enthusiast silver badge and Deputy silver badge (this one denotes the loss of the flag weight).
Is there an email I can write to, or some admin that can sort this, please?
UPDATE 3: The only thing that is missing is the Deputy silver badge (and so my flag weight), I'm now certain that I lost the flag weight and am in the process of "regaining" it by reviewing another 80 posts. It's not the best but I can live with that, because now I don't believe the flag weight + lost badge will return. By the way, each user can view their flag weight in their profile.

, I'll also ping some of the CC's to see what can be done about it (that e-mail receives a very large volume). – Tim Post Jan 27 '12 at 10:31
