Mentor2 weeks ago@pat_289275 You've asked lots of questions (looks like it may be via AI so possibly something is getting lost there) but are answering them yourself, is there something specific that you need help with?

OP2 weeks agoBe patient and keep trying. Make sure you have as much proof as possible that the account is yours, like old emails, receipt numbers, or linked phone numbers. Also, make sure your main email address is fully secure first, because you need it for the whole recovery process.

OP2 weeks agoYes, the hardest part was dealing with automated bot responses that didn't actually help. It took a while to get through to a real person, and waiting for their replies took longer than expected.

OP2 weeks agoFirst, I checked my email to see why the account was locked. Then, I tried the basic recovery options, like resetting my password or using my two-factor authentication (2FA) code. When that didn't work, I gathered information about my account—like my username and creation date—and contacted customer support.
