  Hi there,

  You can change your account email address from here:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/account/

  Assuming you currently have access to your WordPress.com account, you will receive a validation email to change the email at the new email address, not the old one. So, you do not need access to the old email to change it. Make sure to click the link in the validation email to confirm the email address change.

  If you run into any issues, you can check out this guide below:

  Cheers,
