Hello
This must be the most asked question but I cant work it out or find a solution.
I have a wordpress website, it just sits there ticking over in the background, but now I need to change some info in it, but when I went to access it I realised (when my password didn't work) that I hadn't changed my email address when I last moved (Nov '11) which means that the password help just disappears into the ether.
The site is - http://www.multi-tip.com.au
How can I resolve this problem?
Your help would be appreciated.
Regards
Ray

Now this makes perfect sense, doesn't it? And the sense is made in language geared to my understanding, sans jargon, fluid, available, a touch of whimsy and the underlayment of human concern. Thank you beyond all my personal universe of confoundation! This will be archived and updated as progress is made. You are a fine teacher and much appreciated in real time I'm sure.

Well, it's easy.

Log out of WordPress.com. Walk away and forget you ever had that username.

Get another email, a free one like gmail or whatever. Use that to start a brand new account with whatever name you want and make a new blog. Never log into the first account again. Problem solved.

All my bads. Many blog names registered w/ many emails, passwords, profiles etc. Too many mistakes, can't register, reregister or clean up and start all over w/ confused profile information over many years. Lost or forgotten profile info, some of mine are in use by ME.
Blog titles include: mermermaid.com, tinywits, mortecome, zelligg, mytheology, twrlee all @wordpress. What emails are associated I don't know, some problems w/ gmail being duplicated by another, Google publishing personal info, my changing accounts with them or being wrongfully deleted, spammed into unusable etc over many years. How can I just start all over with the title I tried to set up today (versus.com) not as twrlee but with another pseudonym completely? I'll set up a new gmail account or intro one at Hotmail or AIM or whatever to start clean with the name I will use forevermore (versus) Can you direct me? Set me on the clean and sober path to being a real WP blogger even tho' I don't get how to have a domain vs a blog and can't even find "store" to click on.

Here’s the email address support@wordpress.com Be sure you include all details.

Double check your spam filters - many email systems have a disturbing habit of putting emails from WordPress.COM in the spam folder.

Remember that the email is the unique identifier for you and your site and that will be the first question the Staff will want and all resets are sent to the email of record.

Thank you for the response, tandava. Do you have any recommendations in contacting WordPress? I have failed to find any direct contact on their support website. I imagine this is going to be a huge endeavor.

You really have to wait and contact support. There is nothing that this volunteer community can do. Be aware that even support will not hand over the password/control of that wordpress blog just on your word that you are the rightful owner!

I was made editor of http://kenschwaber.wordpress.com/, and our team has somehow lost the password and username for the man (kenschwaber.wordpress) account.

We have tried resetting the password, but unfortunatly cannot find the email address in which the new password/account settings link is being forwarded to.

This is a huge problem, because now we can't reset the main password, and all we have now is editor access on my account (cowsky). I have spent two hours trying to contact WordPress support and searching for a direct support contact channel, and have found nothing.

WordPress and WordPress community, your help would be much appreciated. I believe the only solution is manually resetting the our password, because we don't know which email the password reset options are being sent to (we checked every email address of ours we know exists). Help.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
