  I have a private blog here that I don’t use often, but is important to me. It’s like a diary. As I understand it, at some point wordpress changed everyone’s passwords. I didn’t get a notification because my old email provider went out of business. Now I can’t access my blog, and can’t seem to get help anywhere but here (and we’ll see about that). I DO have that key# they give you and tell you not to share with anyone because it’s like a password. Can anyone tell me how to get into my blog?

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

  There is only one means of recovering an account. You can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and click the “Need More Help” link to complete the form for account recovery. https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  You’re welcome but do note there is a backlog of account recovery requests that Staff are struggling with so don’t expect instant service.

  The story of my life. Any idea how long it’s averaging? Are we talking days or weeks or…?
