I parsed it as something like "I can't register an account that has the
same name (in whatever sense matters to me) as the one I had before,
because that account already exists, and I can't recover that account,
because it's trying to recover via an E-mail address I no longer have
access to.".

The question of in what sense the account has the "same name" is
undetermined, but the existence of such an additional constraint is the
only way I can see to parse the given scenario so that it makes sense.
