  I tried to change the email address for this account but it says that email is already in use. I know that no one else would use my unique email so I’m wondering which account it is. I really don’t know if I have another WordPress account or blog. I don’t use the email address currently associated with the above-referenced blog. What should I do now?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What is the email address you’re attempting to change it to?

  If you reply here with the email address written as normally, it will be hidden from all but staff.

  Hi,
  The email address you wanted to change to, have already been registered with another account in WordPress.com.

  You can try resetting your password using new email address you are trying to change to here https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  If you have account already in use you will be able to reset the password of it.

  After recovering the account, you will be able to transfer your website to that account. To change the blog’s website, just follow this guide

  If you have any more query please let us know here.
  Thanks.
