So, I am obviously dense tonight, I have needed to log in to ask a question, however I seem to have forgotten my password - and I don’t seem to have access to the email I originally used, so I need help [obviously I am breaking the rules by having a second account I just made, so a bit of help would be greatly appreciated to get back into my real account] ---

It is indeed, because it ends with a question mark, but it would be more canonically formulated if the first two words were written in reverse order. ---
