   I have a long-standing blog around virtualization technologies at http://vinf.net which is hosted on wordpress.com

   Last week I received an email (or a page top prompt - I forget exactly) about a security compromise and that I should change my wordpress password - which I did.

   Now. ever since I did that I have not been able to login to my blog with my username, ok so I figure maybe I fat-fingered the password when I changed it and I hit the forgot my password link - but I never receive the password reset email for vinf.net.

   I know it's not a spam blocker etc. because if I try exactly the same for another, old, empty blog I created years ago - tickx.wordpress.com I get the email.

   I can only think my vinf.net blog has an incorrect email address associated with it? - although I normally get emails from wp.com, there is a chance I set it to an email account from a former employer - an account to which I now no longer have access :( - my genuine, personal email address is the one noted on my about page vinf.net/about

   So, I'm totally locked out of my blog - I raised an web ticket at the start of the week (and prior to that emailed support) but had no reply, whilst I appreciate this is a free service (no SLA, etc. etc.) I'd love for someone to be able to help me, I'm at VMware's big annual VMworld conference in Vegas, and have a bunch of good content coming up that I'm not going to be able to communicate to my readers :(

   Any ideas how I can get this resolved and reclaim my blog?

   Thanks

   To be clear, this problem relates to my main blog at vinf.net (or vinf.wordpress.com)

   I am using this tickx account as it's the only working wordpress.com account I have; and it's not related/tied to my vinf.net blog in any way

   :(
