  How to I remove the original administrator?
  I am taking over administrative rights for our blog and need to remove the original administrator, but WP says that I do not have permission even though I have full admin status.

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

  Blogs aren’t owned by companies or associations: they are owned by individual username accounts. You cannot remove an original Admin because they own the blog – no one else owns it. However, there is a way the original Admin can transfer the blog to you > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
