  Make sure you have access to the right account and log in through WP.com or Jetpack to change the admin email address back.

  Hi there, it sounds like you’re referring to a site using the open source WordPress software rather than a site hosted here on WordPress.com, the hosting provider. You can learn more about the differences at https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/difference-between-wordpress-org-and-wordpress-com/

  Have you tried contacting your web hosting provider’s support for assistance? If they say this is a WordPress problem, head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ where you’ll find documentation and users who have more experience with the software you are using. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on the top of that page.

  Hope this also helps.
