  I lost access to a private wordpress site and don’t have the email that was used to recover it any more. I haven’t changed the password ever, but for some reason the password was changed and my old one isn’t letting me in any more :(

  Because I don’t have access to the old email, I don’t have any other proof beyond knowing what I’ve written about in the past to help verify who I am. Is there ANY way that I can get back into this account? This page has a lot of sentimental value to me and I’m really hoping i can get it back – would this be possible ??

  Hi @alliecho
  
  The best thing to do is submit the Account Recovery form, follow the instructions there and include as much detail as you can:
