Question

Why do I keep getting an error saying reactivating my Pinterest account is forbidden?

Community Answer

It is most likely because your account is suspended. Contact Pinterest support services to find out why.

Question

How can I find my original Pinterest account?

Community Answer

You can always search for your username to find the account. Go to the search bar and type in your old account name and it should come up. If there is more than one account with the same name, then look for your profile picture or look to see the pins that you have pinned. You can also see which one has been accessed more recently if you have not used your old account in a while.
