    Hello,

    I just attempted to log into my site but I had lost the password for it and realized the email that I used to set up the account is an account I no longer have access to. Is there any way I can change the email that corresponds with the account?

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Could you send a link to the site you’re trying to access?

    If the site is hosted here on our servers this may help:

    Recover Your Account

    You may also be able to log out and log back in with the email address that gets notifications and whatnot.

    Or, for your own copy of WordPress with a different host, ask your host for help with this:
