And what was their reason? They say someone unsuccessfully tried to access my account several times.

I paid for these books months ago. I paid for the Nook months ago. I now have access to neither and BN refuses a refund saying I've gone past the 14 days.

So they are trying to prevent someone from illegally using your account and you are upset with B&N? If you have not been able to provide them with the info needed to prove who you are, then they are not going to unlock it.

I know when I bricked a lost Kindle with Amazon I have to give them all the info they had on my account and an approximate time of purchase and when it was lost so they could verify I had bought the Kindle and that my story was honest. They asled for a lot of info. Probably to make sure that I had actually owned the Kindle and wasn;t trying to swindle someone by turning off their Kindle. It is about protecting the company and protecting the user.
