Remove Admin User
-
We are assuming the responsibility for developing a website for a client that was initially created by another user.
The user has added me as an administrator and would like to be removed before we move forward with development. I have tried to delete the user but receive a message that I don’t have permission to remove.
Please advise on how I can accomplish this removal, or if anyone knows the appropriate folks to contact to get this done, it would be helpful. Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address. You need to contact the blog’s owner and have him transfer the blog to your client or at least make him or her an Admin of the site.
Below is what the blog’s owner must do.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.
To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.
Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

Also it will be helpful if you and your client are clear on the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG so in the event that isn`t the case please read http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Thanks – this is the information I needed. We usually use WordPress.ORG, but this particular client had someone build the site on WordPress.COM. I’ve forwarded the transfer information to that individual, so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
