how to recover old username

Hello,

Is there a way to recover an account of which I only know the username?  I am using a new email address to login to the community and would like to re-use my old username but I can't find which email I used to create it.

Thanks

    Hi dca386​ ,

    Unfortunately you would need to know the email address you used to login to that id, for data protection reasons we can not confirm that information to you.

    sorry

      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.
