I made an account a while ago using a facebook account of and made a few wikidots (Primarily thethousandpaths.wikidot.com) but when I tried to use it today I was unable to log in and when I attempted to reset my password it ended up replacing my old account with one which lacks my sites. How can I regain my old account?
What I can see on the user account milo_vThree - the last changes done were yesterday morning by this user.
Your account milo-v3 does not match any existing user name also near 1000 days old - is a different, second one with near the same Name.
But if you have lost the email adress of your (old?) account ( on http://thethousandpaths.wikidot.com/system:members there is no other account) than you have one chance to "sign in" with your user-Name (notice - no blank!) and Password, and than you can Change 1-2 times your email adress to a new one.
Facebook has normally nothing to do with this link between account Name and email adredss.
If you have forgotten the Password - or the email adress than nobody can help you.
Only the source you can copy from the old wiki and start a new one…
Edit
"when I attempted to reset my password it ended up replacing my old account " - that is very strange to read … how is this possible?

I don't recall making the 1000 day old account, but it seems like I must have made it and forgotten or something which seems very odd since looking at the dates it's after my milo_vThree account.
I have the email address, I only possess one email address.
All I know is I couldn't remember my current password for my milo_vThree account, so I attempted to reset it with my email, getting the click this to reset your password email which I did, but when I finished it I noticed that it wasn't milo_vThree but milo v3 which had nothing in it, and cannot find any way to access milo_vThree.
Maybe it's because both accounts seemed to have had the same email address associated?
"All I know is I couldn't remember my current password for my milo_vThree account,"
I cannot believe it - the last edits with this account were yesterday!
But again: I cannot help you and I am not sure if the wikidot team can help you….

I'm not sure what's unbelievable about that… I didn't have to put in my password for ages since it only rarely logs me out. That's true of most sites on the internet, where you can sign in and not have to sign in again for a decent while.
But either way, that's very disappointing. Though I've sent an email to wikidot support, as they should be able to allow me to reset the password of milo_v3 shouldn't they?
ok, you are right… I make the same experience… long time not signed out.. sorry for my Statement.
as they should be able to allow me to reset the password of milo_v3 shouldn't they?
I think you mean the Password of milo-vThree and not the new (used) account milo-v3
Go to sign-in and make sign in with "milo-vThree" ( without password) and click on Forgotten your username or password? and Wikidot will send you a new Password to your email adress ( from the account milo-vThree)

When I try that it still only sends an email to reset milo v3, not giving me the option to reset milo_vThree.
