  Hi Team,

  I started this blog back in 2014 and had it linked to an email that I can’t access anymore. I recently got locked out and the wrong password attempts resulted in my account getting blocked. 

  I’d really like to know if there’s any way I can recover it back. Since it was a free plan, i do not have any transaction IDs. Is there any way I can contact WordPress support and have them verify my identity? It contains so many memories for me and I can’t lose it.

  Thank you.
