My name and URL but someone else's blog

Someone else’s blog is attached to my name/url and I can’t find my blog. How can I correct this?
Thank you
Ronnie SkolnickThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is the admin login in link to your blog http://ronnieskolnick.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

Thank you. I am able to get to my dashboard, but my content is not there. It is someone else’s content.
Also, I just tried to go back to my blog and got a message saying it didn’t exist and had to re-create an account.

Thank you. I found my old blog – it was attached to the university where I took a course, so it’s not lost. I was able to delete the posts that were not mine on the newer blog. Can I change the title at the top of the page? Thank you

If anyone is posting anything to your blog then you have provided them with the ability to do so either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.
Who, aside from you, has access to your login information?
Go to your email program immediately and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.
1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.
2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/
3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/
4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
5. Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
6. Set up two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
Then read this please knowing that blogs don’t get hacked when security protocols are followed. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/
