  I just began to create a blog and had to quit before I was done. Now I do not remember the login for that and I am getting a message that my site is reserved… I know it’s reserved, but I don’t know how to get into it now.

  If you cannot remember the login information for a WordPress.com account, your best bet is to try the account recovery process here:

  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  Due to the private nature of information required for account recovery and the public nature of these forums, we cannot help with account recovery here.

  Thanks rootjosh.
  OK. Tried that. Here’s the message I get…
  “Sorry but the website you gave does not exist on WordPress.com. “
  Yet, WordPress says the site is reserved…

  When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  If and only if you own the matching username account which is https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/felixorange then the blog is reserved for you and you will be able to log in appropriately and register it after logging in under the correct username account.
  https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1

  However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.

  So how do I get back into that? I know I started it OK, but now I am unable to.

  You would use the same form, but enter “felixorange” for the user name. I would try leaving the URL field blank and explain the situation in the “details” area. If for some reason the form won’t let you submit with the URL field blank, just enter your existing URL in there.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.

  The WordPress system makes me try to retrieve the lost password and will not let me resubmit the recovery form… If… When I try to retrieve the lost password it tells me to check my email, but nothing shows up and I have checked the spam folder too.

  The felixorange user account was registered in 2011 (which reserved felixorange.wordpress.com for that user). Are you saying that was your account and you would like to access it again?

  Or were you just recently trying to setup felixorange.wordpress.com?
