    I am the new President of the NYC Naval Academy Parent’s club, and one of our past presidents had set up a blog (web page?) that has not been active for at least two years. We would like to use the site, but the past presidents do not remember the password. The blog is -nycnapa.wordpress.com.
    Is there anyway to access the site?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Companies, groups, organizations, etc. do not own blogs. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and their associated email address.

    The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

    Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

    If the blog’s owner does not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
    follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

    If the blog’s owner has lost your log-in information they can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    If required the blog’s owner can complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.
