Requesting reinstatement when password does not work

I have submitted two applications to be reinstated as an ODP editor (as "edwardp7"), the second application is still pending, but the auto-reply I received regarding the first said the topic was already "well represented". The category has NO editors at present. I then submitted the second application indicating the category has no editors and that I had previously edited it in the past.

I previously was an ODP editor (eddiep), yet when I try to send a reinstate request, it tells me the password isn't valid and when I also try to access the password change request, it is apparently going to a now-defunct e-mail address.

Can anyone help???

Whilst we usually welcome returning ex editors, we are insistent that they come back under their original identities. That you've forgotten some of your login details or you no longer have access to your original email account are merely stumbling blocks, not show stoppers.

Please contact me via http://www.dmoz.org/public/sendemail?editor=jimnoble with as much corroborative information as you can such as:-

Approximate date joined
Editor name (but not password)
Real Name
Original email address
Joining category
Additional categories gained
Roughly how many edits done
Approximate date of leaving and the circumstances

Convince me that you are who you say you are and I can reset your email address of record to one that works today. This will make it possible for you to request a password reminder and complete a reinstatement request form.

I've disposed of your edwardp7 application for a new account BTW.

Thank you for replying. Some information is on the way.
