    Hi there,

    Please follow the instructions in our Account Recovery guide:

    Recover Your Account

    Also, what’s the address of that private site so I can have a look?

    Hi there, if you still have access to the email account that was associated with this second WordPress.com account, first log out of this account you are using to post to the forums and then visit the WordPress.com log in page at
    https://wordpress.com/log-in

    Underneath the log in details (username/password) you’ll see a link to either reset your password or send yourself a one-time log in link.

    Once you are reconnected with your second WPcom account, you can update the password on that account.

    If you don’t have access to the email address associated with that second WPcom account, you’ll need to fill out as many details as possible on the account recovery form https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

    Let us know how that goes.
