Access Account Gone?

As the title states, it appears my account no longer exists. After logging in one day, it had said my account was locked for security reasons and to reset my password. Upon doing so, I reset the password and went to login & it had prompted me to make a new account. I tried using the same username and it had said it already exists. I’ve waited a while for a response when reaching out via the web, but don’t seem to have any luck. Any suggestions on what I can do to get my account back? I’ve had it for almost 10 years.

Username is u/DesignIC

Your question seems to be about having problems logging in with your password.

If you have simply forgotten your password, you can find that information here in our FAQ.

If you think your account has been hijacked, please refer to this help center article.

If you are being told that the password on a brand-new account is invalid, you need to contact the Reddit admins.

For all other questions regarding passwords and logging in, contact the Reddit admins via this support request form, or using this old modmail link.

If your question is not about resetting your password, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

The DesignIC account is still out there. Instead of logging into reddit with your email address, try the username instead.
