Need to delete old account but no info available

    I am writing on behalf of a friend who is an older adult. She owns the B&B. She would like the site at the address above to be deleted or changed to a private site. She does not remember or have access to any info that would allow her to verify ownership. (Someone else set it up for her long ago and they are no longer available to help.) The steps in the Knowledge base require being able to log into the account or having information she doesn’t have. Is there anything we can do to make this happen?

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

    Hi there,

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost access to your WordPress.com account.

    If you can’t provide an email from the email address with which the blog was registered, a transaction ID, or the original activation link, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you recover the account.

    We have a strict policy in place to protect our users from third parties who might try to use our support system to gain access to other users’ accounts.

    However, if your blog contains personal information, I would be happy to set it to private so that search engines and users can’t access it and your blog is hidden from public view. Just let me know if you want us to do that for you.

    Just confirm the URL of the site and we’ll set it to private for you.

    Thank you,
