  Hi WordPress Team,

  I have another wordpress account which I created blog back in 2007 and would like to log back in to check through my old posts but I’m unable to reset my password or find out which email is associated with it.

  Here’s all the information I have:

  The blog url is: https://tylerhere.wordpress.com
  My username is: smeghead11
  The original email address was: (email visible only to moderators and staff) (Password reset emails don’t seem to be sending here though)

  I don’t have any transaction ID’s/activation URLs but I have a few notification emails in my inbox where I changed the administration email address on my blog back in 2009.

  Help would be greatly appreciated!

  Kind regards,
  Tyler

  Hi Tyler,

  Are you sure you’re using the correct email address to log in? Have you tried logging in with the username instead?

  As @luanluta996 mentioned above, to help you, we’ll need the information mentioned on the support page, so go ahead and fill the form if you’re still unable to access the account.

  Hi staff-mckluskey,

  Unfortunately the issue I’ve found is the email address I thought was associated with the account doesn’t seem to be anymore, as mentioned I created this account about 14 years ago so finding the transaction ID/activation URL is proving to be problematic as they might have been deleted by now.

  Is there any way of me finding out what the email address is so I can do a password reset? I basically just need to know which email address I used and I should be able to take it from there.

  I would have thought the original email address I mentioned above would have been set up as a recovery account if I changed the administration email address.

  I’m afraid we can’t disclose any personal information for that account.
  Try emailing our Account Recovery team at passwordhelp@wordpress.com. They can offer some alternatives.
