Howdy handymomk,
You can retrieve your password using this link
https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpasswordAlso to delete your blog and account here is some useful information
Since we don’t want other people to have your username in the future, we don’t delete usernames (they are kept so they cannot be recycled). For more information, please see this link below:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
Here’s a few suggestions for you if you’d like to scrub the account:
1) Empty and delete your sites:
First of all, be sure to empty your sites of all content. You can find out more about how to do this here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
Next, delete the site following the guide on this page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Please be aware that this is irreversible!
2) If you are trying to unsubscribe from emails sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block Emails”:
https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/
3) You can also go here to remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This will only leave the username behind:
https://wordpress.com/me/account/ https://wordpress.com/me/profile
4) To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

5) While you cannot completely delete your Gravatar profile, you can remove all of your profile information easily through the “Edit My Profile” page here:
http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/?noclose#about-you
You can also hide your Gravatar profile from external access. Visit your profile page (click your name in the top navigation of the website), then click the “Hide My Profile” link in the bottom, right-hand corner.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -
Hello,
Follow these steps to reset a forgotten password:
1) Visit the Lost Password page https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
2) Enter your WordPress.com username or email into the text box and click Get New Password.
3) An email can be sent to your Primary Email Address and an SMS to your SMS Number, if you specified one, to help you recover your account.
Here is a link to the support documentation on passwords, half way down the page is the Lost Password instructions:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/Once you have reset your password here are the steps you need to take to delete your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
If your site has premium upgrades you will need to contact staff to have them remove those upgrades before you can delete your site. To do that, you can type “Modlook” in the Tags box on the right side of this page.

Sorry @pavanraheja your answer to this thread hadn’t shown up when I initially logged in this morning. And Sorry @handymomk for any confusion.
