  happiness engineers. I have a client who has an unwanted wordpree site
  http://anotherforkintheroadmilan.wordpress.com/
  I need to at least make it private.
  Client does not have user name nor password … former worker made it years ago
  there is no SMS code
  I can’t imagine this is some how an unusual problem
  unfortunately still comes up #1 in searches

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

  I answered you here previously requesting the correct URL https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/client-has-neither-user-name-nor-password-and-site-no-longer-wanted?replies=4#post-1839386 Thanks for providing it.

  Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email addres. No matter how many blogs are created under any username account there will be only one gravatar and one primary blog that can be linked to that username.

  The blog’s owner can transfer the blog to another username account http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account or make it private or delete it. Staff will NOT do those for anyone. The blog’s owner has to act.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If required please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  Thnaks for your reply which for some reason I only just saw

  I have emailed the site and hopefully it goes through to the owner (that is hopefully the email associated with the account is active)

  This is a business. An employee started this site a few years ago, it was never completed and needs to come down,. It is not a representation of the business. It is not the owner’s nor anyone associated with the business. It seems unlikely to me that I could start a blog called McDonalds and they would be unable to get it removed. There must be a process if the “owner” of the blog does not get back to me.

  thank you

  I’m sorry but there isn’t any such process.
