Hi, account where exactly? Please provide information about the system this is about.

Unfortunately closing this Phabricator task as no further information has been provided. @RegulusPluto: After you have provided the information asked for and if this is still wanted, please set the status of this task back to "Open" via the Add Action...Change Status dropdown. Thanks!

The account is from Montreal, QC, Canada
I'm new to Phabricator so I'm not sure what is information about the system.

@RegulusPluto: Where is this account located? Is this about an account in Wikimedia Phabricator, an account on wikitech.wikimedia.org or Gerrit, an account on meta.wikimedia.org, an account somewhere else? Please link to the account. Thanks.

I am not sure what a ssh key is. Sorry

That link is a redlink and there is no Developer account named "Jorgebyte" in the LDAP directory.

The only hit for "Jorgebyte" in Phabricator is this ticket.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Jorgebyte does exist, but there is no email address attached to the account so there is no reasonable means of password recovery.

I am assuming they'd like to regain access to the SUL account based on this sleuthing. :)

@RegulusPluto - unfortunately we will not be able to recover access for this account. I would recommend creating a new one. You can then mention the old account on the new one's user page, if you want to.

I forgot to link my email with the account but I really want to regain
access again because I used it to add information on my school's wiki page
and I want to continue using this account to do so. Is there anything you
guys can do to help me? Thank you very much for your help.

Does the old one eventually get deleted? Is there any other way of
recovering my account?

No (because data integrity and transparency), and no (for reasons mentioned above).

Thank you very much. The Wikipedia community is very nice.
