  The account dsgty was created only 43 minutes ago. If ‘someone’ was able to use your email to set up a wordpress.com account, it means ‘they’ have full access to your computer and email address. This is not a wordpress;com problem but rather a security problem with your computer and accounts.

  Hello there,

  As above, can you confirm if you have access to the underlining email address inbox please?

  If yes, you could send a password reset here: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Many thanks.
