That could be because you are not logged in under the correct username account. There’s only one owner of any blog and it’s the person with the username account that registered the blog and who is the original Admin of the blog. You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog -

This is not acceptable. Please tell me what you will do.
Thank you. -

Thanks, timethief. Now I am trying to figure out what the original user name is. Because I am the only admin.
