  I mistakenly changed my username and am unable to retrieve my original one. When I try to change it back to the original one, I get a ‘Sorry! Username already exists’ message. Please help! I need the old one back or I’ll be in trouble :(

  We can’t help you. What’s done is done and cannot be reversed.

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for anyone else to use. http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Pardon me, I didn’t mean to be rude :(. It’s just that I’ll have to redo about 4 weeks’ worth of work.

  Thanks for your response. I’ll know what I shouldn’t do next.

  Cheers!
