  The response from vijjisite support is not helpful. I have not forgotten my password and I don’t want to change my password. What I don’t have is my username. That’s what I need.

  Hi again,

  Sorry that you were having trouble finding the information you need from the link. After you open that link if you go down little more, there is a part that tells about how to recover your account… Could you try again by scrolling down to the part that talks about the Account Recovery.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

  If it is still not helpful do let me know.

  Account Recovery Form

  If you’ve misplaced your log-in information, the email address or username you’ve entered isn’t recognized, and you haven’t enabled Two Step Authentication, you can access your account using the Account Recovery Form which is accessible by clicking the “Need More Help?” button on the Password Reset page. On this form, you can provide certain pieces of information, under Proof of Ownership, to verify that you are the owner of the blog in question:

  Transaction ID: A transaction ID is a unique transaction ID generated by PayPal, our payment processor. If you purchased an upgrade on the blog in question — via PayPal, credit card, or another method — you can retrieve a transaction ID by logging in to your PayPal account or locating a past WordPress.com receipt sent to your email address.
  Activation URL: When you created your WordPress.com account, we sent an activation link to your email address that you were required to click. If the email you received included a confirmation button instead of a link, you can copy the activation URL by right-clicking on the button and selecting “Copy Link Address” (this text may be vary slightly depending on your browser).
  At the bottom of the form, you can add any other details that may help. Then, click Recover My Account. We will contact you with a response or a request for additional information. Once we have proof verifying you are the blog owner, you will be able to reset your password and regain access to your WordPress.com account.

  Hope that helps.
