Problem with unified login
I normally edit on English Wikipedia as wikipedia:en:User:Bazonka. I have been trying to set up a unified login account for Bazonka, but I'm unable to do this fully because my Bazonka account here at Mediawiki is inaccessible. I don't know what the password is, and there is no email address associated with it, so the Password Reset functionality doesn't help. I had the same problem with my account at Commons. A bureaucrat helpfully renamed my unusable Bazonka account so that a new Bazonka account could be created (see here). Can the same be done to my account at Mediawiki please? If you need proof that I am the real Bazonka, then you should be able to email me via my English Wikipedia account. Thanks, Bazonka 91.125.92.179 11:01, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. The account was likely registered in past by someone else and now it was renamed in order to let you unify it. You can login to mediawiki.org using your central account now. Petrb (talk) 13:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Actually that's not possible, Petrb. The account was created automatically according to the logs, and therefore must be unified. Me and other users have had the same problem. See 29234. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 20:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
