recovery of old admin account

[boardhelp]

Forum URL: ashadeus.proboards.com/

So this is a very old message board that I made in 2006 or 2007 when it was at the proboards100.com domain. I am the moderator and admin of this board ("Crittoris"), but the email address I have an old email from 2007 setting up the forum doesn't work as my login. I was wondering if there was any way to recover my account.

Hi,

Unfortunately without access to the original email account that you used we have no way to verify your ownership of the account. If you still remember your username (which, if you're the admin would simply be "admin") you can login with your password (again, if you remember it).

So, someone else who was able to log into a mod account on that board checked my account, and the email that I attempted to use to recover my password is listed as my email for that admin account. Yet, when I type in that email (which I do have access to) to recover my password is says no account found. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Quick edit: I did type in "admin" as my username and request a password recovery but no email has arrived.

Are you positive that you got the email address correct? I notice the email that you're using for your account here is similar (but not the same) as the one tied to the admin account. 

If you've double checked and you're sure it's still giving you that error, please PM me.

This was resolved via PM.
