I am open to ideas if anyone has any (if resetting 98789's password is the way to go, I would at least like to read some sort of consensus that that won't cause additional "shadiness" to this process). Thank you to anyone commenting, especially the ones who are actually contributing (giving ideas and at least reading/paying attention to what I write).
You are overthinking all this.
Regarding the concensus you basically already have it as many members told you that nothing will happen if you wake up your old account, unless you start doing some dodgy stuff mentioned before. The more you continue this drama, the more people might get suspicious.
