Old blog
-
Hi I found an old wordpress site of mine that I’d like to get recontrol of to likely remove the blog completely.
The domain is joeki.wordpress.com but I’m not sure of the login for it, as it doesn’t appear to be attached to this account at (email visible only to moderators and staff) although it should be – can you help me do that?
Could you help? I can provide any details needed to verify.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/joeki for the matching WordPress.COM username account.
You have to 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. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.
I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.
You can update your email address here https://wordpress.com/me at any time.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.
If you did not register the site under your username account and do not have the required access, then you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it, and have them act or transfer the site to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
If the login information has been lost go to
https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-passwordIf you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then you must 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, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.
Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

Thanks but the problem I’m having now is that I don’t have any transaction IDs, activation urls or keys, or authentication codes.
When I try lost password for “joeki” it says check your inbox, but I get nothing – the email may be set to something else which I do not know of or remember, its from 10+ years ago.
However I do have emails in my inbox about the setup of this blog joeki.wordpress.com to my actual email address (which I currently use with wordpress.com but doesnt have this blog attached), along with password resets from 2008 but I still don’t have access.
When I try lost password for username “jowey” (which is what it says in my old emails) it says the account is deleted.
Awkward situation, what do I do?
