    Hey, I just created this login to ask you a question as there is no other way, so sorry for that =/ I know this sounds bad but I’d like to reclaim my nickname ‘kub1x’. I’ve been using it for years now and I remember registering at wordpress (and gavatar) some time ago. I’m sure I did use this nickname when I was registering. Maybe I even created a blog with a few post but I’ve totally forgot about name or anything about it. And I don’t remember the email address I used during registration. Perhaps it was my school email. Something like (email visible only to moderators and staff) or it could be any email I created to me on highschool, I don’t really know from top of my head. But I’m using the nick ‘kub1x’ everywhere and I’d like to use it for may WP and gavatar too. Is there any chance to get it back?

    Thanks dozens,
    Jakub kub1x Podlaha

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

    I see that username account here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/kub1x

    The Admin login link for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

    You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

    Clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

    If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
    follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

    And I don’t remember the email address I used during registration.

    If the log-in information is lost visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    If you are not successful gaining access to the blog then please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

    Thank you for a quick reply, it’s not really helping though.

    I’ve gotten to the very last point and I don’t have enough information to fill the form as all I really have is the nickname =/ What I’m actually asking is: could you check if on the login name “kub1x” has been any activity other than at the very beginning it was created and if so, could you delete it so that I could re-register it, or so? I believe I registered it ages ago and forgot about it and now it got zombied.

    Thanks

    We cannot delete username account and register them again. Are you clear on that? https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
