The recovery process is hopeless as it takes months, but try moving this thread to Meta where it belongs.
I guess you know how to move threads. Just in case, lower left corner, you'll see the "Move" link.
Thanks for the reply. I forgot that users with new status aren't restricted to the Beginner's forum anymore (I think it was probably changed quite some time ago, actually).
I'm willing to wait a long time to recover my original account. I'm aware that they're busy and this recovery process isn't automated nor is it their #1 priority.
