    Hi again,

    If the site you meant is dukinfieldlabour.wordpress.com, please log out from 27999jtaylor and login as dukinfieldlabour.

    To reset your password, you need to have the access to the email that is currently recorded in the account to perform the password reset: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#password-reset-process

    In case you lost the access to the email or didn’t receive the password reset form, you need to provide the following information for the Account Recovery process:
    https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

    Transaction ID when you performed the upgrade purchase for your site. You can find this on the WordPress.com receipt sent to you when you performed the transaction.

    Activation URL is the link that WordPress.com sent to your registered email address when you first register the account. To copy the activation link, right-click on the link and choose “Copy Link Address” and paste it on the account recovery form.

    Also, I’m adding a modlook tag to get attention from the staff to help you on this if required.

    Hmm. I hate to confuse things further, but there aren’t any sites connected to this WordPress.com user account. What site are you trying to work on?

    I’m wondering if you are simply trying to access the wrong user account for the site.

    Hi 27999jtaylor,

    log onto dukinfieldlabour that is the site you will see me and my colleagues Jacki and Brian

    Would you be able to send the full URL for the dukinfieldlabour site? We should be able to locate the site once we have that.

    Hi there, the “new” email address that you mentioned is on the 27999jtaylor account you are logged in here with.

    The dukinfieldlabour account has a different email address on it, and I don’t see any email address changes in our logs for this account.

    Can you think of another email address that you may have used to set up the dukinfieldlabour account and website?

    I did run the email address that is on the dukinfieldlabour account through an email verifier, and it says that it is working. If you can remember that address and get logged into it, then you can use the forgot password link and get into the site.

    Here’s a little trick you can try.

    Use the username dukinfieldlabour instead of the email in the password reset tool and then check for the password reset message in every email address you and your colleagues have access to.
