    Hi there,
    I am trying to get back into old wordpress blogs from years ago. Unfortunately I recently had my hard drive wiped so have lost passwords. From memory they were also linked to an old email address. Any tips on how to go about retrieving/accessing this and linking to my current details?

    Hi there,
    Try the following:

    Lost access to your primary email address, or didn’t add an SMS number for recovery? No problem! If you were unable to remember your email address or username, or need further assistance, please complete our account recovery form (click here). We’ll prompt you for the following pieces of information:

    Account Information: If you remember your WordPress.com username or email address, enter it. If not, check I don’t know my registered email or username, and enter your blog’s web address.
    Contact Email Address: We’ll need to contact you to help you regain access to your blog. Enter your desired contact email address here. Be sure to double-check your spelling!

    Proof of Account Ownership: We use a variety of information to verify your account ownership. Please provide all information that you can.

    Activation URL or Key: When you sign up, we email you a unique activation link or key to verify your account.

    Two-factor Authentication Codes: If you have two-factor authentication enabled on your account, you can provide a current code from your authenticator app to prove ownership.

    Oops, I forgot to post a link to the Paypal transaction guide. Just in case that will help you, here is a link to the paypal transaction guide (which can help you if you paid for your blog in the past.)

    Good luck!
