Having a senior moment

    Hehe, I’m afraid that wouldn’t help either. A few things will work:

    1) Your login and password for that site :) (don’t enter them here of course, just in the login form)

    2) Your email, which you can use to reset the password. If you can’t remember your old email address, could you maybe ask friends or family what addresses you’ve used with them in the past? Perhaps they could remind you.

    3) If you had upgrades on the account, we could use a transaction ID. I don’t think you did, though, so option 2 is your best bet.

    What about a live video link showing that I have the items in the images ?
    Being the owner of that blog, I would be adding to it, so if it stays as it is for several weeks, then you will know its me.
    Thanks anyway for your help.

    Hi Velda. Thanks for the email. Unfortunately, this is not the correct blog I referred to. The correct one is entitled my blogger. This one you refer to is a new one I created because I am unable to get back into my blogger.

    Much confusion

    OK. If you’ll send a link (with https:// and all) to the correct blog, I’ll send an email to the correct address.

    (searching for “my blogger” brings up lots of sites)

    Well that’s the problem, I don’t know which email address I used and lost all my saved passwords etc when windows decided to reset and re-install itself taking out a lot of my software and so on.
    Really annoyed with MS about this.
    Having spoken to a few people its seems that I have no way to prove I own the blog, although I did offer to do a live video link showing I had the stuff in the images. This is the best I can do to prove I own the blog.In the mean time I created another blog entitled my blogging 2.

    Here is the link to the original one https://m0elsblog.wordpress.com/

    OK, I sent an email to the owner of https://m0elsblog.wordpress.com/ earlier; you said “Unfortunately, this is not the correct blog I referred to.” Can you send a link to the correct blog?

    This is the correct blog I want. The problem is I have lost all my emails, apps and links when windows 10 reset itself. I do not know know / remember which email address I used, nor the login details. I have in the meantime created another bog here https://wordpress.com/stats/day/m0els.wordpress.com
    to try and prove that I am the owner of the blog link you sent me above by taking photo’s of the items in the original blog and posting them in my blogger 2

    Thanks for the help

    @m0els I’m sorry, can you check all of your email addresses? I have emailed the right account. We aren’t able to give out hints about your account email addresses. But as I mentioned before, the people you send emails to would probably be able to give you hints about other addresses.

    Ok, well you may as well shut that one down as and when the inactivity kicks in as you will not get a response from me, because I have lost all my email details bar a few & there is no way I can prove it to you. I will just carry on with my version 2 of the blog.
    Thanks for the time and help

    Perhaps you could work with the email provider to regain access to the account, and once you’ve got that we can help you get access here. We just can’t give out access otherwise (too many hackers out there pretending to be other people – hope you understand!)

    If you can’t regain access to your email, the site can just rest as it is for now, and you’re welcome to use this account to create a new site. I do recommend keeping your login information for this site somewhere safe, though, just in case.

    One last comment, I dont think the hackers will have the lastest dated foto’s which show the equipment in the foto’s which I have. The dates cannot be changed nor the camera type.

    I,ll carry on with the mk2 version.

    Last last comment, if I knew who the email provider was or the email address I used, I would not be in this predicament

    @m0els for privacy reasons, we can’t give out the email address on the account, but I can confirm if you have the right one.

    Did you try this?

    If you can’t remember your old email address, could you maybe ask friends or family what addresses you’ve used with them in the past? Perhaps they could remind you.

    If you’ll type the address here I can confirm whether it is the right one. Only staff will be able to see it.

    Right, After much head scratching, I may have a password for the original blog. Can I type it here or send it privately to admin?
    I still dont know the username or email address I used .

    @m0els Don’t share the password here or privately. I don’t know what it is anyway so I couldn’t confirm it.

    I can’t give out the username or email. I can only encourage you to check all of your accounts.

    OK. Try the recommendation I gave earlier, re: asking your friends to help you remember your email addresses. I think it’d really help.

    They don’t have to be here. Just have to be people you would have emailed.
