reserved domain…but it was my username on a past website
-
I used a specific account name with my last website (godaddy hosted with WP).
Now I’d like to make a site with that account name as the domain.
ex: http://www.accountname.wordpress.com
How do I recover that name? It shows as reserved but it’s not a site yet.
I bought the domain and was planning to domain map to said wordpress.

We provide support only for blogs hosted by WordPress.COM. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

There is no expiration date on .wordpress.com blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.
If and only if you have registered the matching username account then log in under the correct username account and as the blog is reserved for you and you will register it after logging in under the correct username account.
https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.
In the event that you think you registered the matching username and have lost your log-in information, please use account recovery https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and the Staff will help you by email ie. off of these public support forums that everyone with internet access can view.
If you are not successful, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
