Need to Access Old Blog but Email Account has been Deactivated
-
A couple of years ago, another student and I created a blog for a single post for a school project. We were recently contacted by one of the people in the post requesting that we take down the post, or censor his name from said post. However, neither of us can remember the password to the account, nor do we have access to our old school email accounts. Is there anything we can do to have the post removed?
Here is a link to the post in question:

You’re welcome, shouldn’t be a problem but you might have to mention the name you need removed and which post.

Do you still have access to the gad[…] (at) hotmail.com email address that the account was registered under, or have the account’s API key?

Ironically, no I do not have access to the (email visible only to moderators and staff) email. It has been blocked because it got hacked and started sending out phishing scam emails and I never used it anymore so I forgot about it, and I cannot unblock the account.
Both Aaron and I would like the blog down (I believe he has written customer support), and have a written request from Harry as well. Is there some other form of identification we could provide in order to have the post removed?

Oh awesome, it looks like it’s been taken down for some reason or another. I guess that works.

Hi,
I wonder if you could help me as I’m having an access problem too. I’d like to access my old account, registered under the username christianpetersenphotographer however when I ask to receive a new password, it doesn’t arrive. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can access my old account?
Many thanks,
Christian
