  Hi,

  My blog was set up under an old email address I deleted and now I can’t login and can’t recover the password because I don’t have access to the old email. How can I get that reset?

  Thanks,
  Misi

  If you cannot remember the login information for a WordPress.com account, your best bet is to try the account recovery process here:

  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  Due to the private nature of information required for account recovery and the public nature of these forums, we cannot help with account recovery here.

  Yes, I know how to recover a password, the problem is that I no longer have the email address associated with that account. it was an old business email that has been deleted. Who can I contact to change that?

  That form is your best bet. There are a few other methods of verification that you can use to prove that the site is yours (which are listed on that form). If you have one of those, you are in luck. If not, sadly, there isn’t much that can be done.
