I don't see any user account with your email address in the system. Did you use a different email address?

Comment 2

[Moltres Rider]

I signed up with [e-mail] but updated the email to this in early 2013. obviously the system DID NOT save it or it lost it. the domain that my email account I signed up under no longer exists and I no longer have access to it, so I updated it.

(quite possibly a bug in 2013 that prevented the change from sticking)

There is no user with that email address either, or any with that domain.

There is however a user account with the username justinrpg that has an @gmail.com account. That account was created in March 2011, and last signed on in July 2013. I'm not going to put that email here for privacy reasons, but if it is yours I suspect you know what it is. If you aren't sure, PM me on irc (mythmon on irc.mozilla.org), and I can help you privately.

Their is no password set for that account, so you'll need to go through the forgot password mechanism.

I do have a gmail account with my Android device, I bet you that it's it. I can probably take it from here

Comment 5

[Moltres Rider]

yep, got reset email to that gmail account and got in successfully. I didn't think I used my gmail for this. I rarely use gmail unless for social networking
