  Hi I am in the process of setting up a new website and try to clean up my old digital footprint. I have 2 issues . . .

  1 – I have a wordpress blog I can’t access. I believe the email attached to an expired domain. That website is dormant and I no longer have access to it. I have not used the blog in over 10 years and I have been meaning to clean this up. When I started this blog a 4 digit password was sufficient and then it changed to 6. This was also before you could attach a phone number. At some point I went into the site and changed it to a 6 digit password but sadly I did not write it down and relied on the device to remember it for me. Is it possible to gain access to this account and how? Thank you

  Probably not if you don’t have access to the email address associated with the site and didn’t keep a record of the password. What is the full address of the site in question.
