isaacs/npm — Issue #2184: Account reset fail

I'm trying to publish from a new development machine, and recreating my npm user on that machine with npm adduser. The addUser is failing as below, when I go to the user reset page I'm told "That username was not found in the repository!".

npm user ls mocker correctly reports my username/email (davethehat)

Thanks

David
