Account locked, forgot security question?
Hi, Yesterday I was in a hurry and accidentally mispelled my password 3 times, so my account was locked. After 12 hours, I tried to log in again and they asked me the security question which I set 4 years ago. Unfortunately, I set the answer heedlessly back in the days and can't remember it now. I really need to have my email restored because I have extremely important data stored in it. What can I do?
