Description
I think my account is locked. Can you reset it?
I was testing out keybase, and I revoked the first and only key I had created. As I understand from #2310, if you delete your last key then your account becomes locked and the only way to access it is to have it reset. The exact errors I get:
```
$ keybase login
Your keybase username or email address: mcaceresb
ERROR eldest called on user with existing eldest KID
```
If I try to add my public key,
```
Error in your post
-------------------
Code: 908
Name: KEY_NEED_REVOKE
Description: You need to delete your active key before uploading a new one
```
I looked for a contact form on the site but did not find out. Apologies if I missed it. I would just delete my account and try again, but I'd like to keep the username.
