→Lost password and can't reset
::::The main problem is the forgotten password. The old database is locked, and there's no way to access it directly. The key to unlock it would be your password, which would prove you are indeed Polk. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to see your old password on the old site. It's not stored in cookies in human-readable format. Without the password, anyone could claim to be "Polk" and request a new password, which would not be good.

::::Despite all that, the other Admin is checking their emails, and will see if anything can be done. We will try! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 02:51, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

::::: ... So, after starting this thread and everything, I discovered that somewhere along the line my saved passwords got switched around (for reasons I can't explain), and it was buried a few layers deep where I couldn't see. I think I've resolved it now! Sorry I didn't catch this earlier, and thank you guys very much for looking into this.
