  I had a login like “Username”, now it’s “g2-0e12f88cd33f18163b8dc29c70899fd4!”, what’s going on?

  I logged on to my dashboard, couldn’t remember my username and used the “send me new password” function and this is the username I got back, heh.

  It looks like a hash of somesort to me, not a username.

  It’s a gravatar effect.
  If you go to http://gravatar.com and contact Support there this can be fixed.

  At gravatar the “reset pass” only gives me the “Finish creating your account” page…

  How do I delete my account here? Support questions only deal with blogs hosted on wordpress.com.
