  Hi, I have a WordPress account with a username that I would like to keep using but I don’t know the password and I also have no idea what email address it is associated with. Is there any way I can regain access to this account? Thanks!

  Hi, you may also be able to log out and log back in with the email address that gets notifications and what not. If you don’t have a recent notification, try commenting on a post.

  Otherwise, could you send a link to the site you’re trying to access?

  If the site is hosted here on our servers, here’s how to regain access:

  Or, for your own copy of WordPress with a different host, ask your host for help with this:

  Hey, thanks!

  I suppose this is kind of a special case. It’s really just the WordPress account I’m talking about. I currently don’t have a page associated with it and I likely don’t have access to the email address where the link would be sent to.

  Hope that makes sense
