As far as I can recall you will need to log into the "wrong" account,
then take the "Preferences" option that is in the top right hand
corner of the banner heading. Under "General Options" there should be
the facility to perform the deed. Select it and then left-click on
"Save".

If that fails, I'll need to call out to Ralph or Jim to assist.

There is only an option to deactivate this account forever. Doesn't
sound like it will be deleted, although it is probably good enough in my
case.

I've created another account following your naming scheme (KarolBabioch)
and would like to ask for writing permissions as previously requested.

Interestingly enough I can't change my password. Whenever trying to save
any details on the user preferences site of my new account I get an
error indicating that there is already an account with this email
address. Is this fixable?

Best regards,
Karol Babioch

A home page now exists for you (it looks like I messed things up last
time and Akemi has fixed it) and you should also be able to edit all
pages under wiki.centos.org/de/

Thinking about the error you have reported, I strongly suspect it is a
result of the continuing existence of the deactivated account. I'm
sure it is fixable but I will need to refer it back to either Ralph or
Jim.

Alan.

Sorry that this had not been addressed for so long. Apparently an attempt
to delete your 'Karol Babioch' account by an admin was unsuccessful.
>From what you described, the fact that the old and the new account share
the same email address seems to be causing the problem. Therefore, the old
account's email has been changed to a 'dummy' one. This should make
the
account "KarolBabioch" to be the only one associated with the
registered
email address.

Could you please try logging onto KarolBabioch (no space) and see if all
now works?

Thanks,

Akemi
