I created a Wikimedia developer account here to use Toolforge earlier this year, but forgot the password. When I click "Login using Wikimedia account" on that page, I get the messages "Authenticated as OAuth user Erutuon" and "Wikimedia account is already in use". Clicking Login, I see a page with "LDAP username" and "Password" but no link to a password reset page. I was directed to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset but it doesn't accept my email address or my Wikimedia username (which I think I would have used).

@Erutuon, I attached your "Erutuon" developer account on the Wikitech wiki so that you can use the password reset functionality there to regain access to your account.

@bd808: Thanks for your help! If only I'd asked sooner, this spring when the problem arose. :-)
[Edit: Oops, I thought I'd mark the task as resolved, but I wasn't the one who handled it....]
