Have you, by any chance, tried to reset your password via a secret question?
right, I reset my password with a secret question ..
can I use my account again?
Resetting your account via a secret question automatically locks your account due to security issues with said feature. If you want to have your account unblocked, you're going to have to sign a message as per the quoted instructions bellow. Since your account was just blocked and not actually hacked, you can send this message over to me and if everything's in order, I'll unlock it. If and once you get your account back, remove the secret question and answer from your profile by setting both to blank and saving the settings. Further attempts at recovering your account via the secret question will continue to lock your account so don't do it.

Q: My account was hacked! What do I do?
A: See this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0. If you don't know how to sign a message, see this thread made by shorena: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0

Also, remember when PMing the signed message, send it in [code ][/code ] brackets (just without the space at the end). For example,

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to . The current date is .
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----


-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

If you don't know how to sign a message and the tutorial mentioned before didn't mention your client, google for some tutorials with terms like: "signing messages with ". For example, "signing messages with bitcoin-qt".
