Twitter lost my password!?

[jordanb]

So basically, twitter locked me out of my account and my password doesn't work anymore. I don't know what e-mail I used and I've tried all the ones I know. Something is up, and I have to get back into my account somehow, because I AM NOT CREATING ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
