  I recently changed my blog from http://www.weightchangers.wordpress.com to a self-hosted one with the new name of http://www.fastweightchange.com. Now I need to delete/terminate the old blog http://www.weightchangers.wordpress.com.

  However, When i try to log into weightchangers.wordpress.com to delete it, WordPress seems to be locking me out. I tried getting a password change but to no avail. I need to gain access to my old blog to delete it so that I can divert traffic from it to my new self-hosted blog.

  How can I gain access to my old blog so that I can carry out the deletion process?

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

  Hi there,

  I noticed that the website http://www.weightchangers.wordpress.com/ is under a different user account than the one that you are using here in the forums. So it is likely that you have created a second user account along the way.

  So, it is possible to set up the redirect you are after, but we will need to get you back on to the other account.

  I can’t do that here in a public forum, so I have sent you a private message regarding your inquiry, and it will arrive at the email address here in your user settings for your mightywiththepen account:
