Cannot log into gerrit: 'Cannot assign user name "want" to account 7082; name already in use.'
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

My account into Gerrit was created before six years. I use ssh key for access.

Page Gerrit/Tutorial on mediawiki.org claim, that password for login into Gerrit account is same as at wikitech.wikimedia.org. I tryed one from my old passwords and login into wikitech was successfully. For tweening, when I try to log on to gerrit.wikimedia.org, I see 'Cannot assign user name "want" to account 7082; name already in use.'

I tryed generate http password over ssh as recommend page about Gerrit account on gerrit.mediawiki.org – in vain.

For it I can't do any comment into to review my code, and explain purpose why is important add this messages.
