need help with removing a site

    I need to delete a site that my Dad made a while ago (despite him making it, this site only contains information about me). He has forgotten the password to the WordPress account he used back then.

    I understand that a site cannot be deleted without access to the admin account. However, this site contains my photos and personal information (old address, old school, etc.) that is easy to find when you search up my name. Given the high security risks this poses, I was hoping staff would be able to provide assistance in taking the site down.

    Thanks.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Unknown

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there,

    Only a logged-in admin can delete the site or take it offline. If you don’t have the login details for the correct account, please follow our account recovery process at https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/ so we can help you regain access.

    Alternatively, if the site contains your personal information, you can try reporting it to our terms of service team as explained at https://wordpress.com/en/support/report-blogs/, and they will review it. If you do that, make sure to specify the exact information on the site that you want to have removed.
