Can I regain access to my blog if I no longer have the associated email?

  Hi there,

  The URL above was my private journal throughout college. I know the correct password but it says my account is locked (maybe because I haven’t blogged in a long time.) Since I graduated college four years ago, the school email I used no longer exists and I can’t receive or reset anything. I also can’t check for a transaction ID, activation URL, or two factor authentication (I don’t remember if the blog was connected to my phone or any other email).

  I do remember my original sign in and can provide details of the blog, including the title and specific journal entry contents. Is there any chance this is enough to regain access? The blog documents a significant portion of my life and I deeply regret not protecting my access better.

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

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