  Dear all,

  I have another wordpress blog, http://livremercadoangola.wordpress.com/, that is a political blog that I maintain in anonymity. I found out that my email account associated with it was hijacked and the blog itself has its password changed, I have no way to access either.

  I would like help to regain control of the blog.

  Regards,

  Samuel

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

  Have your tried using the “Need More Help” at the lost password link?

  I tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please be patient while waiting.

  Were you logged out when you tried the instructions from timethief?

  I tried those things a few weeks back and the screens were different between logged in and logged out

  Assuming you clicked the button, look in your inbox for an email from staff. It may go in the Spam folder, though, since automated emails often do.

  I no longer have access to the email associated with the account, it seems to have been deleted.

  I had two email accounts for this blog, one to register the blog, and a second one to run addons stuff like Flicker and a Facebook page, the registered Email account is deleted and the one for the secondary stuff was breached and someone changed the recovery email.

  So I can’t use normal recovery, for all I know the recovery process could also be compromised. :(
