  We need to remove an Administrator. We have a new Administrator and need to delete the old one’s access. How do we do it?

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

  What do you mean by “we” please?

  Note that companies, non-profits, and groups of any kind do not own blogs. 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 their associated email address.

  Is the person in question ie. the one you want to remove the person with the username account who registered the blog and who is the actual owner of the blog and the original Administrator? If not, then see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#removing-users

  The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to transfer the blog andany upgrades to another username account or to use the lost password link or account recovery form.

  Please have that person see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
