  I initially set up an account for a college course. When I no longer needed the blog, I thought I deleted it. But, it still shows up in search engines and looks just as I left it. I don’t see it in any panels or options when I log in and its possible I have different log in credentials and simply forgot what they were. I currently use a wordpress hosted website for business, so its a little confusing to remember log ins and passwords. I’ve tried getting passwords reset and different usernames, but no success.
  Blog url: http://nikoscox.wordpress.com/

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

  Yes.

  Can you confirm which blog you’re referring to?

  iamnikos is not a user on http://nikoscox.wordpress.com/

  You need to be logged in as the correct user, nikoscox.

  If you have lost access to that WordPress.com account, please visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and click “Need More Help?” if necessary.

  I have tried logging in as ‘nikoscox’, but my passwords do not work. I receive no email from WordPress when I use the account recovery option. And, when I used the “need more help?” option, it stated the URL listed is not a WordPress.com registered site.

  Try entering just nikoscox.wordpress.com as the URL.
