  I had a blog associated with this email address that is no longer connected here. How do I found out what email address it is now associated with? I found an email from 2012 saying I had asked to change the email address associated with it, but I have no idea where I sent it!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  By the way, that blog is called whateverisinthekitchen.wordpress.com.

  Hi there,

  We cannot tell you the email address associated with that blog. Please follow our Account Recovery guide:

  The problem with the account recovery – obviously already attempted – is that it requires you to have access to the email address to find the information required. It’s a catch 22. Without knowing the email address, I can neither find the required info nor can I sign in to the account. So NOW what do I do?

  If you remember the username of the account you can enter that in the password reset tool instead of the email. Then you need to check all the email addresses you have access to for the password reset message.

  Here’s the password reset tool:
