How can I get my old username back?

    I created a new WordPress account (euvieivanova), but then realized that I already had a different wordpress account (embryonicwings), so I changed the username of the new account (euvieivanova -> euvie), to free it up so I can change the old username to it (embryonicwings -> euvieivanova). Much like I would have done with Twitter. Instead, WordPress seems to have locked my desired username (euvieivanova) after I changed it, so now I can’t use it for either of my accounts. This is my name, so I would really like to be able to use that username. How can I get that username back? Is there any way to unlock it? Please help!

    You can’t:

    Nothe the 5.:

    Read the information presented on this page very carefully. Important:You will not be able to change your username back. The old name will be reserved and no one will have access to it. URLs for other services such as Gravatar and IntenseDebate may be affected.
