  I cannot access my blog at
  http://neath.wordpress.com

  I don’t have a clue what my password is and would like a new one. But when I receive an email to reset my password it is for a different user altogether. About 4 years ago someone made me an admin at their blog. The email wants to help me get a password for THAT blog and not mine.

  I had this exact same problem a few years ago and after a number of emails with support the issue was solved. It appears now that us free blogs can no longer get help via emails with support.
  Does anyone get this? How would you proceed?

  What I am saying here is that I cannot access my blog at all.

  I know everyone is busy but some kind of cursory or even really rude comment would be much better than utter total indifference. :)

  Please help me help you. Are you claiming that this blog http://neath.wordpress.com/ is registered to toemailer? Beacuse if you are I find that to be circumspect.

  No, not at all. I am an admin at toemail.
  But I am also Neath at http://neath.wordpress.com
  I do not know my password.
  The email I receive from WordPress offers to help me reset my password to another blog of which I was once made an admin but have never posted or used in any way.

  All I want is the ability to set a new password at http://neath.wordpress.com

  Thanks, Timethief, good to see ya!

  Yes, c’est moi! I don’t come around here too often because I rarely have issues with WordPress, but, alas, have a bit of a sticky one here lol.

  Here is the user ID for the other blog.

  I would prefer to be done with that forever.

  Or maybe it’s this simple.

  If I could access my blog, put in a new password, I will tattoo it to my body, and forget that the other aspects of this issue do not exist.

  Here is what it says when I try to auto reset my password by email.
  Someone requested that the password be reset for the following account:

  https://wordpress.com/

  Username: g2-978b598c3a7043d8e2060ceca28daa3d

  If this was a mistake, just ignore this email and nothing will happen.

  To reset your password, visit the following address:

  <https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=G4oXZwoIMHMjjArWIMVI&login=g2-978b598c3a7043d8e2060ceca28daa3d&gt;

  My user name is Neath as far as I know. :)

  Hang in there please as Staff (macmanx) is working his way through days of threads that are flagged for Staff attention.

  It’s okay now. Turns out that the reset could be done at a different email address. Weird. but I can reset my password at an email address that I haven’t used regularly at all in 7 years. Not sure how that worked out except that I probably originally signed on to WordPress with the old email and have just assumed everything was moved over to the new email.

  Sorry for taking up any precious time during this problematic time.

  And thanks, Timethief, you and Raincoaster are still the greatest!
