  back in 2013, me and a few other students had a project where we all posted in my old account littleleeanne12. I no longer have the password to that account and no longer have access to the email to do the reset or recovery. I have been approached by a few of my former classmates to take down their pages for they do not want to have their great information published on the site any longer.
  the site is:
  https://meetingmyths.wordpress.com/
  and it was a free site so I do not know if I can ever gain access to this again…

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then you must complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.

  Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

  I do not have that information because it was sent to the email I don’t have access to anymore…so I guess it will just stay then?

  I’m sorry but without you providing the old email address when you complete the form here https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  Extra Details
  Do you have anything else you want to add? Please note that we cannot accept publicly published material as proof of account ownership.

  so Account Recovery Staff can consider it as proof of ownership you have reached a dead end.
