AutoMod answered Account locked for security and will not unlock. I am a mod for a community of 140k and cannot access my account.

This happened 12 days ago. I have reset the password as requested multiple times. I have an authenticator added to the account as well. I have received no response to the tickets and seem to have no recourse on recovering my account. I would just like someone to help me understand why my account was locked and how to at least start the process to reclaim. The account is u/roundcircle

Your question seems to be about having problems logging in with your password.

If you have simply forgotten your password, you can find that information here in our FAQ.

If you think your account has been hijacked, please refer to this help center article.

If you are being told that the password on a brand-new account is invalid, you need to contact the Reddit admins.

For all other questions regarding passwords and logging in, contact the Reddit admins via this support request form, or using this old modmail link.

If your question is not about resetting your password, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Well, good thing is that there is no reddit actions on it.

The support tickets typically take 1-3 months if you get a reply.

Try resetting it here on a browser.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the reddit old workaround as well, no luck.

Tomorrow the admin here will make a weekly recap post. I would suggest commenting on that post to see if they can help.
