As Pahanda pointed out, Lionhearth, your subscription pays for access to your account. Though obviously support is an aspect of having an account and we want to provide what assistance we can, there is no guaranteed response time though. We will provide what assistance we are able to as soon as we possibly can.
Q u o t e:
He's account was hacked... an authenticator was put on and he's trying to get it back before the hacker sells all this stuff.
Now, if your friend's account was compromised and an Authenticator attached it would indicate one of two things. Either this compromise took place several days ago, before the confirmation e-mail was required for authentication attachments or that the person who compromised the account also has access to the e-mail address.
I'd recommend your friend make sure his system is secure and then immediately change the password for his e-mail address.

If he is able to answer the account specific questions he should be able to reset his password. As long as the Authenticator is attached he won't be able to access it but it should prevent anyone else from being able to log in as well.

He'll need to contact our Billing and Account Services department in order to have the Authenticator removed. I'd recommend that he call them directly but he should also send an e-mail or webform from the registered address on the account.
