  Hi – I cant access my first blog. I’ve got the wrong password for it, and when I go through the ‘lost password’ process, the system assumes I’m looking for the second blog’s password.
  I’d be happy to amalgamate the two, but I cant do that without admin access the first blog.

  Hello,

  What is the URL to the first blog?

  Please keep in mind that this forum is for users that have their sites hosted with WordPress.com. If you are self-hosted (using a different hosting company) then you would be better off heading over to the WordPress.org Support Forums for assistance with the Open Source version of WordPress. The link for that is below.

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  If you would like to see the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you can check out this page:

  aha. Foud you. The email doesnt support replies, as I’m sure you are well aware,
  The URL is jilldbarker.wordpress.com My Blog title is ‘Jill’s Blog’ and the subtitle is ‘Reading, Walking and Musing’

  I am definitely with the simpler version of wordpress. I just post writing and some pictures. Not the one you mention. I went there by accident and they sent me here.

  Hello,

  My best advice would be to use the Account Recovery Form. You will need a transaction ID or the Activation ID from when you first created the account (the email that was sent to you when the account was first created) to verify that you own the account. The link for information on this is below.

  Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

  Hello John
  Can you tell me what I should do next?
  I now have access to my old email address. There are numerous communications on there regarding my inaccessible blog, that have I think come via wordpress/. Will that do? It doesnt seem to go back far enough to pick up the origins of the blog. Only to 2007.

  Thanks
  Jill
