  I have registered a blog using a temporary e-mail address, because I wasn’t sure about the e-mail to use.

  I have used a strong password, and now I have lost it… :-)
  Okay… it’s silly…

  The temporary e-mail was (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  May you fix this issue deleting the user and the blog?
  This way I’ll be able to reopen it using this “good” user.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. That’s not how it works: deleting a username and/or a blog does not free it up:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Try following this procedure to recover the password.

  You don’t want a blog deleted as it will be gone forever even from you.

  Go to the site in question and use the “lost password” option for the log-in and you will be sent an email with the new log-in to the original email.

  Nope… :-(

  The temporary e-mail is gone.
  The password and/or the username are gone.

  The blog is a fresh one, and the deletion is the perfect solution, because there isn’t any new post, except for the default one.

  I can’t access the e-mail, and I can’t access the account.

  Deletion or giving up are the only solutions.

  Uhm… no name recycling?!?

  Then I’d have to get the username back someway.

  Where do I can ask for support?

  I’d have to change its e-mail and password.

  Why is the “temporary email address “gone? What did you do?

  Get the old email back – that is your best bet – the email address is the key to EVERYTHING here – no email account no laundry so to speak –

  10 minute email… I feel really silly! :D
  Cut & Paste password… I can’t understand what’s gone wrong.

  Then it’s gone.

  And that’s all.
