  Hi, I’m sure I had an old account called alexallmont but I am unable to restore it because I closed the domain that the email is registered to (sine35.net). The wordpress instructions on how to restore a password with the ‘more help’ option is no longer on the website so I am stuck.

  I am writing logged in as alexallmont487843428 which must be the username designated to me automatically when I installed wordpress on my website a while ago. However I need to write an article and need to use the original name alexallmont.

  If you cannot remember the login information for a WordPress.com account, your best bet is to try the account recovery process here:

  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  Due to the private nature of information required for account recovery and the public nature of these forums, we cannot help with account recovery here.

  Thanks for getting back to me so fast Josh. That page is what I need by unfortunately as it was a few years ago I can’t remember the URL of the blog.

  Any invalid values entered in that text box will causes an error: ‘Sorry but the website you gave does not exist on WordPress.com.’

  Is there any way to bypass that?

  Thanks,
  Alex

  Sadly, if you cannot remember the blog URL, there’s not much we can do. We need to know what site we are looking into.

  Thanks Josh, looks like it’s a goner then. Ah well, my crummy new username isn’t the end of the world!

  Is it possible to get that recovery URL you sent linked from the wordpress login page help? If you logout and follow the help link this is where you currently end up and it does not reflect the recovery process: http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/

  All the best and thanks again,
  Alex

  You can change your username. You can change the appearance of your username on your profile page under “nickname”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
