I thought perhaps I had used the same username for both blogs, but whilst my name and password will open my personal blog, it does not open the copywriter blog and when I try it says that I cannot access that dashboard.

I have tried entering all my email addresses but none are for that blog.

If you could give me an idea which email address I used then I can recover my password and delete the blog. I have emailed support at wordpress.com but I've not had any reply.

In short - I do not know what email address I used for this blog and as I don't know my username or password, I cannot access the blog.

If you don't have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password by entering your email address here:

http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

Please follow the instructions carefully. You'll receive two separate emails during the reset process, so make sure you read them both. If you don't receive the emails right away, check your spam folders as well. The confirmation emails can get caught in them sometimes :)

I tried to log in to delete the blog. I've forgotten the username so I used all the emails I own in an attempt to reset the password. None worked.

I went onto an account recovery form which told me that my blog here http://lisavalentinecopywriter.wordpress.com/ does not exist and asked if I had a wordpress.org one instead.

WordPress are currently not accepting support forms except for paid subscribers.

I'm not sure what to do next. I've tried all the usernames I can think of, I've tried all my emails, I cannot get into the account and I cannot contact wordpress. I've also searched all my emails for the welcome email I would have received when I set the site up but nothing. The blog is only around 3 months old, if that.

Please can someone guide me on what to do? How can I get it deleted without having access? How can I contact WordPress?

How to do this or how to contact WordPress do this??

I want to use the name again.

Thanks

If it's any use, I still have the email confirmation for blog transfer.

If the owner has lost access to his WordPress.com account, he can regain access by visiting https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and clicking "Need More Help?" if necessary.

If the employee opened it, he is the owner of it in WP's eyes and they won't help you get control.

If someone else in the company opened it and gave him access to maintain it, that's a different situation.

Under WP policy, the person who opens the account is the owner unless they agree to transfer it to someone else.

There is another thread very similar to this in which a Staff member explained all this. Not sure if I can find it now or not.

But you also have a regular web site it looks like - so get a new blog here and map it as a sub-domain of your regular site blog.your-site.com - much better search engine stuff and looks more professional (don't forget the no ads upgrade)

I'll figure it out though! Thank you for all your help.

Lost and forgotten passwords happen all the time so as long as the mapped email is still active the log-in can be retrieved

Many places sort of forget the passwords when they fire an employee - maybe have your lawyer jog his memory

Apparently he is a bit of a disgruntled employee. The owners have been trying to get the passwords from him for over 2 years, but he "can't remember any of them." So basically, we don't have access to twitter or wordpress, AND we've had to create a new Facebook page.

But thank you for your help!

Would we have had to previously backed up the blog to cPanel or Plesk to get the dump of the MySQL database? How does this work exactly?

The long and short is that the company blog is owned by the account of the person who set it up and was then fired - WordPress.COM will not hand over someones blog to a stranger - your best bet is to make nice with the person that was fired and get the credentials from them and have them transfer the blog to a company email account -

I will flag this for staff attention but they will tell you the same thing

The link to the account is here: http://hqpt.wordpress.com/

Can someone help me gain access to this blog or at least deactivate it? I have scoured the support topics for an answer, but I can't seem to find one.

Thanks in advance!
