Are you sure you haven’t taken over MissDairyGoodnessVT’s identity and are attempting to set yourself up so you can post about cheese that has not been approved by the FDA? We are on to you, sister. Put down that pail of milk and back slowly away from the barn.
OS, email program, and browser you are using are necessary if you think you made these changes. Firewall and anti-virus could be helpful as well. Pretty vague.
You would probably do well to ping John Robinson.
Or maybe some FRiendly FReeper will do that for you.

I don’t think a system restore is going to restore cookies. If your registration profile still exists, which it should since it doesn’t reside on your machine, you should still be able to sign on to that account. If you can’t, maybe John could tell you why.

At least that’s the way I understand it ...
Not sure what browser you are using but either way you have to make sure that cookies are enabled before logging in to FR.
Are you saying that jimrob stole your cookies?
