Lost email for old wp.com account
-
I have lost both username and password AND the email given in the creation of the blog “trescols.wordpress.com”.
Assistance, clues from WP.com administrators would be invaluable. Thanks
Blog url: http://trescols.wordpress.com -
You will need Staff help. In order to help you get access to your blog Staff need one of the following things in order to correctly identify you as the blog owner:
1. an email sent to support@wordpress.com from the email address associated with the account or revealing what that associated email address was
2. the wordpress.com API key for your account. This was included in your welcome email with a note to keep it safe. Please do not post the API key here. You can send it to the email address I posted above
3. if you have purchased any upgrades for the blog a transaction number send it to the email address I posted above.

For 1. I can only give a list of all email addresses I have ever used and that I may have used to create this WP blog
For 2. I have API keys for other sites I manage (mostly self-hosted) that could >> possibly ?? << be of help.
For 3. No upgrades were ever purchased. If you access the URL you’ll see that only a test page was created.
Thanks for helping -
We Volunteers cannot provide any help beyond what I provided above. You need to contact Staff.

I have seen the staff give a hint on the email for an account – but you still need to have access to that email to prove ownership. They will not give out the full email only part of it
Have you tried the “reset Password” option?
I will flag this for staff attention

Check ALL of your email accounts and the spam filter – I think I guessed correct on part of the reset so you should have an email somewhere from your lost blog

The staff will sort it out one way or another – they have at least two accounts or they could see the blog now – they also said they did not know what email they might have used to create that account so I guess they could send emails to the address you gave from all of their accounts – bit of an overload for the staff and I would think a bit of a tendency to maybe get lost – I have seen the staff (staff-blorbo actually) give a few letters of the email address as a hint (not sure what a person would do if all their email accounts had the same first 4 letters)
Then for sport I guessed the name of one of the users on the account – (sort of a slow July 4th so far) – then thought that I would warn the person that that is why they might have received an email that they did not request –

This blog actually was registered to your account at one time. I think you may have lost it if you ever changed usernames. Would you like it moved back to your spaceclips account?

Thanks very much. If your suggested move allows me to administer trescols.wordpress.com then please do move it to my spaceclips account. Thanks again -
