Locked out for “security”
-
WordPress locked me out of my blog, Diary of an Emotional Wreck, saying it was done for security reasons. I logged in with my correct username and password, but it prompts me to change my password. The problem with that is, the email address I used to start the blog years ago was disabled, as I only used it for that purpose, didn’t use it to send emails. Now I can’t access my blog, which included 130+ subscribers, diagnoses, PTSD venting, etc. How do I get back into my blog? Please help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
