- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This is my old user and I don't remember the password and what email I used. Since already tried the recover section without success, usurp is the only way to recover it.
- Hugo Homem, while you can not say that it is your account, you should post to his talkpage notification that he will be renamed and provide a link here. --Ochilov (talk) 12:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Ochilov It would be easier if the CheckUser could be done for years ago. But it's ok, I made it in portuguese here. You can check the translate here. Hugo Homem (talk) 14:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

- @Hugo Homem: I am very sorry, but if you can't log and make a confirm edit we can't usurp the account. Per standard practice a confirmation edit is always needed. We need a proof that you own the account. @Ochilov: Please refrain from setting requests on hold. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:56, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Steinsplitter, but why can not he request usurp and if we do not get the answer in one month from the another account, it will be usurped? Per policy, it can work, yes? --Ochilov (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- We don't usurp user with valid edits whiteout conformation. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Steinsplitter, I am telling about not usurping, but about renaming Homem to Homem~enwiki, than Hugo_Homem to Homem. It is possible, right? --Ochilov (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Renaming a user in that way is a usurpation. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:14, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Steinsplitter, I am telling about not usurping, but about renaming Homem to Homem~enwiki, than Hugo_Homem to Homem. It is possible, right? --Ochilov (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- We don't usurp user with valid edits whiteout conformation. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Steinsplitter Can you help me thinking in a way to prove it? As I said, the IP is not useful since the last login was 2 years ago and can not be verified using CheckUser. Other websites usually says we send an email to x**@yyy.zzz, that would help me remember what email I registered (if I did it). As you can see here (Hugohomem → Homem), I already usurp that account once. Regards, Hugo Homem (talk) 16:31, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Go to Special:PasswordReset and enter your username. This schould send a pwresetmail. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:35, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- As I could see from here, one user had a nickname "Hugohomem", and then the renaming to "Homem" was done. But Hugo Homem is a popular name, so you should verify by recovering password and posting from that account that account is really yours --Ochilov (talk) 16:43, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Steinsplitter @Ochilov Things become weird, because trying to discover the email and recover the "Homem" I just recovered "Hugohomem" account. So this proves that I was the last owner of "Homem" (previously "Hugohomem") trying to recover it, right? Hugo Homem (talk) 23:50, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Steinsplitter, but why can not he request usurp and if we do not get the answer in one month from the another account, it will be usurped? Per policy, it can work, yes? --Ochilov (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

This happens from both of my workstations and from my wife’s workstation, while she is well able to log herself in under her username on both of my work stations . Tried all customary remedies: cleared Firefox cache, restored Firefox, cleared cookies, reset the router, typed standing on my head... Nobody at the deWP help desk seems to have encountered a similar problem. So I would be be very grateful for either help or forwarding this request.

- I copied the above from en:Wikipedia:Help desk#Can’t log into my user account. Special:CentralAuth/Lesabendio gives the same error message so something must have gone wrong with the account. https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/sulinfo.php?username=Lesabendio does work.

- Reason: I was a bit upset that this name has been taken. But when i found the user is blocked as a sockpuppet, it gave me a ray of hope. This is not good, that a stylish username will be forever tagged on a sockpuppet. Change his name to something else and give me that name. I am not aware of technical details. I don't want any credit for the user's edits. I simply want the username. The user has made 700 edits. I hope stewards will be kind to my request. --Eden's Apple (talk) 11:16, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: I've had Aphex since 2005. So when I logged in a few months ago it had been changed to Aphex~enwiki. Please change it back! I am still logging in as aphex btw.
- Hi Aphex, other people across the world used the name Aphex just like you, only in different language versions of Wikipedia. Half a year ago all accounts became global. There is a Korean editor who also uses the name and has more edits then you. As such he got the global name and you were renamed. You will have to pick a new name for your acount. - Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 06:16, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
