  I already have a WordPress blog, http://castironbalcony.com. This has been on hiatus for some years and unfortunately I have lost my login details. I have started a new WordPress account with username “castironbalcony” (email = (email visible only to moderators and staff).) Can I link castironbalcony.com to this account and log into its dashboard from the new account?
  NB I have checked “I do not have a blog” because WordPress only provides support for WordPress.com blogs. But this blog runs on WordPress, so someone might have a clue…

  You’ve reached support for the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com. The site you’ve indicated, castironbalcony.com, is running a self-hosted/installed version of WordPress (using the free WordPress.org software).

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. You can read more about that here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Since your site is self-hosted with a different provider, support staff at WordPress.com do not have access to your site’s files or the ability to provide support for your current issue.
