The help part is easy. You will need a couple of your verified hobbyist to get in touch with the boards management or moderators with the verification that you are who you say you are.
If you are in an area with very little hobby activity, like I am, you will have to go to a better place and find someone who is willing to TOFTT and verify you.
There is a sticky here somewhere with all the information you need. I am very computer illiterate, but I will look for it just for you.
