    Help! Someone has gotten access to my account and now posts his blog under my account.
    I have tried deleting all content. Replaced.
    I’ve tried deleting the entire blog. The Delete Option under Tools does not exist on this blog.
    I’ve tried contacting the blogger. Comments is set to “off”.
    I have changed my password. Then deleted all pages and links. Blog was accessed after password change and pages were re-installed.
    If I delete my blogs I lose everything.
    I need this person gone yesterday.
    Please give me some suggestions.
    Thanks much.

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

    Can we have the url link of the your blog starting with http.

    If you self-host, you need to ask on the WordPress.ORG forum.

    http://wordpress.org/support/

    Did you give access to the blog to someone else by letting them be an administrator?

    Sorry, narrowwayministries, but as pornstarbabylon says (it is a wp.com blog, btw), you do need Support but the bad news is that they are unavailable until the 16th.

    Hi narrowwayministries,

    For now changing your password is the best course of action. I will contact you directly to get more details.

    Change your password as @tfardella suggested and check your users for extra Admin, Editor etc and delete any that are not authorized.

    Work with @tfardella
