Reclaiming old User ID#

Hi All,
Been a longtime folder since early 2011-days but just now returning after a long hiatus.
I have an issue where I don't remember my old login, and none of the emails associated with my old account are registering for the "reset password" process.

New account ID: 48963236 <- Just made this account today
Original account ID: 157597 <- I want to continue to contribute under this account only

How would I go about reclaiming/recovering that old account?
Is there a way to merge the two accounts?
Thoughts?

Thanks,
-Hienrich

v7 did not have accounts.
You are free to use your old user, team, passkey with v8. Web control account is optional.

Please read the guide on the download page.

Credits are not associated with any account, but are instead permanently recorded with user, team, passkey. Points cannot be switched to another user.

I didn't adequately understand the situation.
Thanks to your reply I now understand that I can put anyone's username into that field on the browser 'client' and attribute work to that person as I complete it. I have now done this with my legacy username and my situation is resolved.
Thanks for your help!
