Further complicating things, I no longer use the email account I had when I first registered here.
Help!!!! What do I need to do?

I ran into that issue, head-on, tonight. It might still present some frustration for people who are not here on a day-by-day basis.
I had to try several different things before I could get a new password, and sign in. It took a few tries.
I was able, finally, to procure a new password (still haven't figured out how to re-set my own preferred password, but I'll work on it) by re-reading my email and locating the
8-character combination sent to me. Copying and pasting will work for me, until I can set my own. (Sometimes, when stressed, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.)
The only thing I can suggest is that if you're also friends in real life with other members from here, that you let them know about all of this, so they are not disappointed, and left with no support if they need it.
Sent with all best regards, MG
p.s.- I had not read ALL the replies when I wrote this, and so by-passed excellent advice earlier on in the thread. It works if you know follow wiser people's leads.
