Couldn't you register kuppidon at gmail.com with gmail, and then try
using the reset password form?
It should cause the password reset email to be sent to the new account
- allowing you to use seyz as your username.

Of course, I'm assuming you're legit, since this attack vector is also
used in cracking attempts in order to enter into old
accounts - which can allow for social privilege escalation.
