  my old blog is gompolino.wordpress.com
  i lost my password and the email connected to the blog account.
  The blog is currently marked as private. I changed the blog to private mode a long time ago, thus If you need any information about the content of the blog i can provide them so that you can double check that it is actually mine…
  The account recovery proccess can not work since i do not have access to the email account (i don’t remember the email linked to the blog…)
  Can i get any help?

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

  Hi there,

  i lost my password and the email connected to the blog account.

  If you don’t have access to the email address and have forgotten your password, you will need to fill out this Account Recovery form:

  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  On this form, you can provide certain pieces of information, under Proof of Ownership, to verify that you are the owner of the blog in question.

  These is more information about account recovery here:

  Recover Your Account

  Come back to me if you have any questions.

  Thank you for the response,
  I cannot use the recovery form, since i neede to fill information (activation URL, authentication codes etc) i could only acquire by accessing the email connected to my account. Unfortunatelly I don’t remember it…
  I only know the name of the blog: http://www.gompolino.wordpress.com
  I also have data from some of my posts in that blog that i could somehow send them to you so that you can verify i am the owner.
  The blog is in private mode so there is no other way i could have known its contents..
  Is there a solution to this mess?
  Thanks again!

  Hi,

  Can I follow up with you by email? That way you don’t have to discuss this in public. I’ll send an email to the email address on your WordPress.com account.

  Let me know if you are happy for me to do so.

  Thanks!
