Not the audience for this (who's the audience anyway? can't think of any), so definitely not, but that mechanism has at least 1 major flaw:
If a password is compromised / brute forcedthe attacker will have access to the victim's e-mail (or other data) until the victim makes the time to get around to resetting the password in person, which might take a while.

The trade-off is an increased risk of inadvertent or malicious denial of service, but properly hardened those can be minimized.
