So I'm having some issues with two ebooks. I can't open them because the associated Adobe ID has been deactivated. I have access to the email address, though. Is there a way to reactivate my Adobe ID somehow?

I did what you suggested, but I still can't gain access to the ebooks. It seems my Adobe ID is still inactive.

Can you login with this on the website of adobe?

No. I don't remember my password, and it won't let me use the "I forgot my password" feature. Can Adobe reset my password manually, or am I out of luck?

Go to Website www.adobe.com/de -> Sign in > Forget password. Enter your Adobe ID and you get a mail with the link to reset the password.

I can't though. It won't accept a deactivated Adobe ID. So I take it there's nothing to be done? Adobe can't just reactivate my account?
