Obviously, i had to reset my password there too, but I know that gravatar is linked to my email id and I got the reset password request. On clicking the reset password link it took me to reset the password and then asked me to create user name and I opted for my globally unique userid (anantanandgupta), which was not available, because of the the wordpress merger and same userid being present there. since this is the only userid I use to create any account online, and i have never faced "someone taken problem" means that on wordpress also this id belongs to me (might have created long back), created with the help of some other email id. Now as i don't remember that with which email id i have created that username (anantanandgupta), I can't get a password reset mail and can't access my account.

so, in very short again, I just need to know that which is the email id attached to this user name (anantanandgupta). Can this be raised as a support ticket so that I can get a support personal helping me out.

I was an early adopter of Gravatar and never reconciled my user name there (likely "darms") with my Word Press user name which is apparently "g2-e3f633989ad83ce9dd4405337a4e32f5"...

When I tried to comment on a WordPress blog, after entering my email address, a long, random string of characters was automatically entered as my username. I replaced it with my standard username, and guessed at a password. It was rejected, so I opted to have my password emailed to me. The email I then received from WordPress once again gave my username as that same long string of random characters. When I logged on using the link provided, and a newly changed password, I went into my profile, and tried to change username. I was denied.

Is it possible my email was fraudulently used to set up a fake WordPress account? How do I get my email disassociated from such an account, in order to set up my own real account using my personal username and password, and make it accessible only to me?
