GB login trouble

Many of you may remember my dad. For health reasons he really was away from the forums for about a year. This would include the time frame of the LARS idiot guy and all of that. Well now he can't log in. Every password he tries does not work. He needs to know how to reset his account somehow, does anyone know what route he can go about it? His screen name is Doug Wilson and he has almost 2,500 posts and he's probably been a member for about five years so understandably he doesn't want to start from square one with a new login name.

Any help would be great, I know lots of you probably remember him.

  I think he is going to have to start over. Sorry.

  Use the password retrieval function on the login page. There is no other way to retrieve passwords as they are stored encrypted in the database.

  If you do a search for Doug Wilson in the search function all the threads come up and his name is changed to N/A

  I searched the DB and found the account. Someone had deleted it. We do not delete accounts - at worst we mark them *locked* so I am assuming this was done by mistake.
  
  Anyhow, I was able to undelete the account. He should be able to login now. Sorry for the problem.

  Dave,
  It will be good to see your dad posting again.
  
  Doug,
  Been doing any reloading? [;)]

  Well, I owe someone an apology. I tried several times to assist this member in logging on, and finally, I deleted his account, I believe with his consent. Anyhow, it was boogered up to the point that I could not log onto his account using my admin password, so there was something seriously wrong. I am glad Admin was able to restore the account.
  
  Sorry again.

  On the members search page try the words "dougwilson" (all one word); or try "doug wilson" (both words with space between first and last name) and I think NUNN or yourself can figure it out.
  
  
  Or perhaps this will help:
