Hi there,
If you don’t remember the email address, the only option is to submit our account recovery form providing one of the other methods of verification. Then we can help you to regain access:
-
I followed your advice. The form asked for the username or the email. Obviously, I used the username, trendingnews1967 and waited for details as stated in the prompt. Nothing came in to where. Please help.
-
I can see there has been a few reset attempts on that account, and the emails were sent and delivered successfully. Please check all your email addresses, including the spam filters, and if any are Gmail addresses, make sure to also check the Social and Updates tabs.
If you don’t find it anywhere you’ll need to use the account recovery form I linked to above instead. If you don’t have any of the verification info needed on that form we won’t be able to help you regain access.

tHANK YOU FOR THE assistance. I did check ALL my emails, including the spam, etc. and found no emails related to my lost wordpress account. I dont understand why wordpress cant give me any clue of the email I used. Anyway, too bad this happened. I will just have to let that account go to oblivion.

The email address is the one form of verification that you own the account, so it’s the one piece of information we cannot share, in public or in private.
What I can and have done is to send a separate email to the address on file for that account. It could be that your email provider is filtering the password reset emails, in which case a direct email from a different address might go through.
Something else you can try is to search your other email accounts for the phrase “wordpress.com”. If our emails have been filtered somewhere doing a global search might turn them up.
