Issues after you helped with rename

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=&user=&page=User%3ASandman30s 16:50, 16 July 2013 Xeno talk contribs moved page User:Sandman30s to User:Sandman1142 (Automatically moved page while renaming the user "Sandman30s" to "Sandman1142") (thank) 16:50, 16 July 2013 Xeno talk contribs renamed user Sandman30s (2609 edits) to Sandman1142 (WP:CHU)

I am logged in as Sandman30s But it says: User:Sandman1142 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

 (Redirected from User:Sandman30s)

Issue is I want to login as Sandman1142 But Sandman1142 password is broken and there is no email registered to reset it. If I set an email on the the Sandman30s account, can you copy that email to the Sandman1142 account?

I enquired in discord and someone said I should mention this: SuperHamster Just for others' reference: not actually resolved. Sandman logged in on their old username, which persisted as a global Wikimedia account after being renamed locally on the English Wikipedia per their request. Though I guess that might help in proving their identity...(edited)

Sandman30s: Are you just wanting to have that username, or did you also want the edits attributed to the username you'll edit under? Was there some link made by the Wikipedia account to connect it to the Wiktionary account prior to the rename/SUL finalization? (xaosflux: would this be enough to convince for a sysadmin-assisted password reset? “) –xenotalk 20:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
One of those pages is a redirect to the other, so that it likely that "but it says:" part - nothing special to do with accounts. Neither of these accounts are very prolific or have advanced permissions so I doubt anyone is going to do much with them (or really need to). SUL accounts can not be merged. If I'm reading this correctly what the current ask seems to be is "copy the recovery email from Sandman30s to Sandman1142" - however the former doesn't actually have one now, any rename issues are 8+ years old, and the history is so old that it would be very difficult to attribute these accounts to each other. Sandman1142 has made edits this year, so it is already assumed that someone is in control of that account - that Sandman30s has surfaced after 15 years of no edits isn't convincing to me (as that account could have just had a password guessed) - also the checkuser information is too old to be useful between the accounts. Honestly, though I personally AGF a lot - I think others will be suspicious of anything from Sandman30s due to the 15 year contributions gap - this editor should try to remember their password for Sandman1142 that was active earlier this year or just start a fresh account. — xaosflux Talk 20:49, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the responses. I have no idea how Sandman1142 has made edits, as I have not been able to login with that account for a long time. I remembered that I had Sandman30s before, and tried to login there, and it worked. So I want to associate an email to Sandman30s. All I'm asking is that email be copied to Sandman1142 so that I can do a password recovery. Sandman1142 is my primary account and I want to make some edits now especially to my favourite snooker and pool pages. Please don't be suspicious lol - even my login page says "User:Sandman1142 (Redirected from User:Sandman30s)" and I can post a screenshot somewhere to prove that. I do not want a new account as my history on wikipedia means something to me personally.
