    Is there a way to reset my WordPress.com Account to the default factory settings? I don’t mean to reset a few nebulous settings here and there. I’m looking to reset my account to the way it was when I first opened my account on WordPress.com.

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

    Twenty Eleven is the default theme. You can go to > Appearance > Themes > here and type “twenty Eleven” into the search box and click. When the thumbnail image appears click “activate”.

    Also note that the reason you have this “page not found” displaying on your front page of the blog is because you deleted the placeholder Hello World post. After you create and publish a post that error message will disappear.
