  I had previously created a login here but not a blog (since I host my own WP blog already). I went to create a new account to get an API key to use with Akismet but forgot at the time that I already had an account.

  Now when I try to access my dashboard or account page on wp.com all I get is an “Invalid activation key” error message. How do I resolve this?

  That appears only after it has been used once – can you find/login to the new blog?

  No, I just get a blank page. I got that same key error when I clicked on the activation link in the e-mail I got after signing up (because I signed up for a blog with the same name as my previous account).

  I have the same problem. I signed up yesterday (4/30) and imported my existed blog from blogger.

  When I try to click any link, it gave the same message. I can only see the main page.

  Nazar, please contact Automattic directly as this is a backend issue and can’t be resolved via the forums.
