  Hi there!

  You can regain access to your account using the Account Recovery Form. On this form, you can provide certain pieces of information, under Proof of Ownership, to verify that you are the owner of the blog in question:

  Transaction ID: A transaction ID is a unique alphanumeric code generated for your payment. If you purchased an upgrade on the blog in question — via PayPal, credit card, or another method — you can retrieve a transaction ID by logging in to your PayPal account or locating a past WordPress.com receipt sent to your email address.

  Activation URL: When you created your WordPress.com account, we sent an activation link to your email address that you were required to click. If the email you received included a confirmation button instead of a link, you can copy the activation URL by right-clicking on the button and selecting “Copy Link Address” (this text may vary slightly depending on your browser).

  You can find more information for the account recovery in the following article

  Hope this helps!
