I just registered a new developer account.  When I did so, I received the following automated email:

> Welcome to Force.com Developer Edition. Dear {my name},
> 
> Your user name is below. Note that it is in the form of an email
> address:
> 
> User name: {snip}
> 
> You'll be asked to set a password and password question and answer
> when you first log in. Passwords are case sensitive. Your password
> question and answer will be used if you forget your password. Make
> sure to choose a password question and answer that you will easily
> remember.
> 
> Click https://login.salesforce.com/?c={snip} to log in now.
> 
> Once again, welcome to Force.com!

When I clicked the link, I was presented with a login screen.  I have not set up a password OR a security question.  Since I haven't set up a security question, I cannot reset the password.

I tried contacting support via [email protected] and [email protected] .  One auto-replied with a message that the email address doesn't exist, and the other replied with the following:

I have tried to find a way to submit a case without logging in, but cannot find one.  I tried calling support @ Contact Salesforce (Select Options on IVR based on help needed)	1-800-NOSOFTWARE and 1-415-901-7010 (numbers I found [here][1]), but they only redirect me to submit a case (again, by *logging in*).

How can I get this resolved?  I don't want to create a whole other email address just for my Salesforce Developer account, but so far I can think of no other alternative.  How do I resolve this?  Is there some support email address I haven't tried?  Some other phone number I haven't found?  I found the Salesforce developer forums, but those also require me to log in to use them.
