How to log into Wordpress,com blog when locked out

I have a problem that I have brought to the attention of the Support team at Wordpress.com. So far, no blessings have come back.

I cannot log into my blog because I need to have my access code sent to my old phone number. I lost that phone last year. I decided to get a new number when I got a new phone. Forgot that I had my phone # on my blog account.

Would it be legal for them to delete the blog with my permission? I mentioned that to them. So far, I haven't received word back from them about that. Maybe they don't want to do that. I can understand, but I want to get rid of the blog so I can start over with Wordpress.org website. The less I have to deal with, the better I like it.

    Is there any other thing where they could identify you from? I'm sure that's therir stumbling block when you contact them. Can an email address not reset the password

      They can delete any blog they like at any time since they own the platform. If they don't believe you are the owner, however, they are not going to delete it on your request. You will need to work with them to find some way to prove who you are or just abandon the site.

    I just got into my blog. Thanks, everyone, for the replies. The support person explained it in a way that was clearer to me than before. So I am on my way out and into something new.

        Vishwa, that is the plan. I can get a WordPress.org site going with Wealthy Affiliate. I was with them before. I'm re-subscribing with WA tomorrow. I missed writing articles for my niche. Can't wait.
