User talk:134.205.124.158

Help me!
Hi...for years, I have been making occasional edits under one username. Suddenly, I can't log in and it doesn't recognize either my username or my email for password reset. Is there any other way to fix this or get back in? I'd hate to lose my edit count and user history!

 * If you do not have an active email associated with the account, there is no way to recover it. Praxidicae (talk) 13:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi 134.205.124.158, the password reset form has two fields. Filling both at once does not work properly, in case that is what you had tried. Also, usernames are CaSe SeNsItIvE. There is no alternative way to regain access to an account.
 * Please let us know if this has helped you, or if your require further assistance. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:53, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Praxidicae and ToBeFree for the quick response. I thought I did have an email associated with the account, but for whatever reason that's not working so seems like I'll have to accept the loss and move on (sniff, sniff). One last question: is there a way to search for the contributions of a particular editor/user? I was hoping I could search on my now-broken username and count the entries, but it just thinks I'm looking for an article on the username and, of course, there isn't any. Oh, and I guess one more: I was just wondering what might cause a username/account to break or get deleted in the first place so I can avoid it happening again!
 * Accounts cannot be deleted. To look at contributions, you would insert whatever username into special:Contribs/USERNAME. Praxidicae (talk) 15:08, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you--that definitely helps!
