I'm hopeful I can get an admin to help me unlock my original bitcointalk account.
My account was locked after a hacking event in bitcointalk several years ago. I missed the window to reset the password for my account, and by the time I returned to bitcointalk I learned I was locked out.
If your account was locked, then you have every chances of recovering it back, it may be locked due to several attempts on the account trying to log in to claim access, it may be due to suspicious activities, as long as you're not banned, you can always refer back to Theymos for reopening of your account, once you're able to show with clear evidence that you're the bearer of that account.
