  I made this account for a senior college project. I don’t like that it has personal info of me and I need to take some articles down. It was linked to my college email that has been deactivated for almost 7 years. How do I get into this account? I couldn’t do the account recovery because I don’t have any activation links. I am really hoping someone can help me

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

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

  You don’t need the email address for login, you can also log in with the user name … and let’s hope you can remember the password. Let’s hear if that works.

  I don’t remember the password since it was 8 years ago. I only had to use it once for a school project. Is there anything WordPress can possibly do you think? I need to take one of the articles down and my info for my own security and privacy reasons.

  Hi, just as an update. I finally found the password and now when I go to login it says my account has been blocked due to security reason (probably me trying to figure out the password) and it says I must reset it. But I can’t because the email it was linked to has been deactivated. It was a school email. Is there any way around this?
