Can't login to 10 yr old WP site with child photos on it

    I opened this free public wordpress site over 10 years ago and uploaded a bunch of photos of my son on it for family to see, but now he’s a teenager and if you google his name the first thing you see is baby pictures on this site. Unfortunately I have no idea what the login or email address I used to create this… I think I used an old email address that is closed now. I can’t login to close this site. Any ideas???

    Given the gravity of the situation, here is what I am doing. I have added a tag “modlook” in this topic. One of the members from the WordPress.com staff/WordPress.com Happiness Engineers should be able to help you through this.

    @blaiseryan Although I’ve answered you in the other thread you posted in, I’ve left this thread tagged for Staff assistance. Depending on circumstances, they may agree to make the site in question Private so that it is no longer searchable, but in order to do that they need to know the URL of the site in question. Please provide that information. Thanks.

    I cannot log in. Originally I choose the option to create a new password. When I did the site originated a long password and indicated it was “strong”. I clicked on the originated password and the response was the password wasn’t strong enough. Other attempts the response was incorrect username or incorrect email. A couple of times it recognized my username after the “lost password” response and said a link was sent to my email, which I didn’t receive.
