Cannot log into existing site because of username change
-
Hi, I’ve had my blog for about 5 years. Recently I changed my username and now when I try to log into my site it says I have not created any sites yet and I cannot find any of my posts.
I’ve reset my password two or three times and I cannot get into my old site.
Any help is appreciated. -
What’s the URL of the site you can’t access? It sounds like it is under a different login from this one.

Hi! Thanks for helping!
My blog is http://www.mydearestwatson.Wordpress.comI can find it on the web. From the outside it’s all there, but I can’t get “into” or on the “backside” of the blog.
So appreciate your input!

I also haven’t kept up with my login info that well. I have 3 different emails I could have used and I have an idea, but I don’t remember which one I used for sure.
You think there’s hope of getting into my site successful? -
Hopefully you can get back to it! Try the username
mydearestwatson, it’s the one in the posts. It’s not the same account as this one.https://wordpress.com/forums/users/oftimeandspace/

Thank you for the help.
I did try the links and looked up my account activation from 2016, but when I click the “verify” button, it said “invalid key”.
I tried the recovery link, but when I’d filled out the form, it requested proof of ownership – showing a purchase of a plan, the verification link (not included in my email. Mine was a button )
Or a 2 step verification.I don’t have any of them and am at a loss of what to do.

You don’t need to verify again with the 2016 link, just login with that email instead of the one on this account. Each account has a unique email address.
Try the lost password form and entering the correct username into the field instead of the email you think you use, then see if that arrives in any inbox (hopefully the same one).

I used another email and reset my password. Victory at last!!
Thank you for your help and support!-Gabe
