  Like many, I made a professional WordPress for a college course. I’d like to take down this website as I don’t use it, but the account is connected to my university email address. The university deletes these email accounts after graduation so there is zero way for me to access it.

  It seems there’s no way to log into this WordPress without the email / proof of ownership that only exists in this now-defunct email inbox. Can WordPress help me privatize this webpage ?

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

  Log in with the username ajmostek and the correct password. (Hopefully you saved the password?)

  @themagicrobot thank you for the suggestion. I see now I forgot to mention I can’t recall the password. It seems privatizing the website is the only option
