Eightbore, I respectfully submit that you may be doing something incorrectly.

I had to be careful that I "re-activated" using the email. Then, when I went to log-in, not register, I had to enter some code from a jumble box which I didn't see the first time because I didn't scroll all the way down. Worked fine after that although I learned my password had to be more than four characters by emailing "admin."

From the messages you are getting, my guess is that you are trying to re-register. You should not need to do that.
