  You cannot find out. Staff can learn the IP of someone requesting it, but without a court order or subpoena they won’t release that information.

  Thanks I pretty much knew that having worked with wordpress.org so much, I was just curious who would try and get in my little ole comedy blog. Maybe an old girlfriend. :)

  sometimes is just a simple spelling error – one forum am a member of locked me out for a while – seems someone could not remember their correct email and hit my account enough for the security features to kick in and disable login’s

  Never a bad idea to change your email PW though.
