    Hello dear WordPress friends!
    I have a question: Some time ago I created a blog for my girlfriend. We tried to change the ‘ownership’ from me to her but probably we did something wrong and this didn’t work.
    After we tried to change e-mailadresses and usernames with no success, we deleted the whole blog. Now my girlfriend would like to start again, she tried to make a new account with her mailadress but now this isn’t possible because we used this mailadress also in the blog we deleted .

    Now I have 3 questions:
    1. How can I make my girlfriends mailadress available again for her to make a new account?
    2. How can I make her username available again for her to make a new account?
    3. How can I make the wordpress.com subdomains available again for my girlfriend to make the new blog?

    Thanks a lot for your reaction!
    Joes from Holland

    1. One account can have only one email address and email addresses can’t be reused across multiple accounts. So you need to first gain access to your existing account.

    In case you forgot your password, you can reset your password using this Lost Password form: https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    If you’ve misplaced your log-in information, the email address or username you’ve entered isn’t recognized use the Account Recovery Form to recover your account: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

    2. Try recovering your existing username using the step 1.

    3. Once you have gained access to your account, you can add a new site to your account using the information in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-to-an-existing-account

    Give the steps 1 and 2 a try and let me know how it goes. 3 is easy once you have access to your account. Good luck.
