 * I have an account here on WordPress.org that is linked to a now defunct email
   account.
 * I had to create a new account just to post this request.
 * How do I have WordPress.org reset my password and send it to my new email account
   and not my old email account (which is deactivated)?
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Best,
    Dale

 * You will have to go to your database table wp_users and edit your email address.
