I am not sure but aren't "ownership queued" means that the ownership of the account hasn't been transferred completely and the OP still do not have access to his account? anyway, how do can I access the security log beside putting seclog.php on the URL?
Yes, you are right. I didn't know the process. I just found this post by Theymos.

As an extra protection against any possible social engineering attacks, whenever* the administration changes an account's email address from its current value, the following process occurs:
 - The change is queued.
 - It is listed in seclog.php.
 - The old email receives a warning.
 - After 7 days, the change goes through and another seclog.php entry is added.




The account stays locked throughout all of this.

So, the account should be unlocked 7 days later.

neither did I knew what the process was and just assumed the OP still doesn't have access to his account since his account recovery is still in queue. thanks for confirming by quoting theymos's post.


anyway, how do can I access the security log beside putting seclog.php on the URL?
I don't think there is any other way to access that page.

I see, thanks anyway!
