Remove blog creator from blog administrator list
-
My account was hacked and was posting to a blog I created but no longer should have access to. I want to delete my account or remove it permanently from the blog. When I go to the blog’s dashboard and try to change my account’s status from Administrator to anything else, or remove it, I get an error message.
Any ideas? Thank you for your time!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. You can’t remove the account that registered a blog, or change its user level to anything else than admin. The only way to remove that account is to transfer ownership of the blog to a different account. You do that from the My Blogs screen in the WP-Admin dashboard, but you have to be logged in as the account that owns the blog to do it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account
If you don’t have access to that account you can complete the account recovery form to try and regain access. That’s really your only option if you want to delete or transfer the blog, as only the owner-account can do those things: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#account-recovery-form
