hello Allen​ 

I believe I know the email but the email is linked to various logins.  I don't see a way to select a particular login for password reset.  If you look at the attached screenshots I would like to recover the circled login with name ta**** if I attempt login I get the message account is disabled for login.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
