  Hello, I once signed up for WordPress about 5 years ago and after about 5 minutes I realized I did not want to use it. So I don’t. Now, though whenever I want to make a comment on someone’s wordpress blog I am asked to sign in, even when I list my actual website, and since I have no reason to remember my wordpress password, since I don’t use this site and never really have, I keep getting my comments erased. There must be a way you can elminate my non-existent website here. I don’t remember any warning before I started: “Don’t start this unless you plan to have it complicate your life forever!!!” Please try to help me with this.

  You can recover your password:

  Then change your email address:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/#reusing-email-addresses

  1. Log into your current account (the one with the email you want to use).
  2. Under Users → Personal Settings, change the email address on the account. You can use any active email that you have access to. This will free up the primary email for the new account.
  3. You’ll receive an email to confirm the change. Click on the confirmation link, and log out of the account from My Account → Log Out.
  4. Sign up for a new account with the primary email address.

  (of course you’ll skip the last step of setting up a new account with your email addy)
