I’m locked out of a different account because I no longer have access to the email address

  • Unknown's avatar

    I need to remove my site

    HOWEVER…. I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS I signed up with because I cannot recover this email address due to NO longer having the phone number (I changed my number) associated to the account… (I CAN prove I own the account if you let me send a screenshot). I REALLY need to speak with a WP HUMAN. This matter is urgent.

    That’s not going to work… I need to have a private discussion. Please allow me to send you a SCREENSHOT.

    This is my art. You can view my portfolio here: (can’t show because the nature of this public forum)

    When I created this site I used the email: (can’t show because the nature of this public forum) I have Proof that’s my email (if you allow screenshots)… however for some reason Google isn’t allowing email recovery via my recovery email…. only via a phone number I don’t have anymore because I changed it a few years ago

    Also this is an OLD website… PayPal only shows transactions from 2 years ago… I believe this was created in 2008/ 2009

    I need your help… I need this web site to come down because I’m releasing a book of this art and I don’t want this site to come up in search anymore. The matter with the thieves is resolved so although true, the information is no longer valid

  • Please send an email to passwordhelp@wordpress.com explaining the situation, and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do for you.

  • You’re welcome to share the email address here. If you’ll type it here it will be hidden from public view so only staff can see it.

    I do think if you’ve got a chance of recovering that email through Google, that would be best.

    PayPal’s support may also be able to help you. If you have a transaction ID, you can submit a private account recovery request through the form:
    https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#account-recovery-form

    As for screenshots, we can’t use those for account recovery since they’re easy enough to fake. But for anything else, you can upload a screenshot here:

    I’d focus on the payment option if you can’t regain access to the email address.

    I also think this is a FREE account… so I can’t get payment information on something FREE from PayPal.

    Ok.. how about I speak to someone in legal… That’s my art I do not give WordPress.com permission to display it….. remove my art from your servers.

  • Ah, I see you’ve both contacted our Account Recovery Team via email and filed a DMCA complaint.

    We’ll close this out, and those teams will be replying to you via email as soon as they can.
