  You cannot register that blog as it already exists. http://barbadosunderground.wordpress.com/

  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 to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you think you have registered that blog in the past under another username account and have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and if required click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery.

  There is no expiration date on blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog via a contact form or commenting on the blog, then providing the owner is agreeable there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  In the case that there is no contact information Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

  If you are not successful, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  Thanks for the feedback so far.

  Here is my problem, I can login to barbadosunderground.wordpress.com because it is an old blog which I have put a link on it to forward to bajan.wordpress.com. Unfortunately when I log in with my master password I don’t have the option to transfer bajan.wordpress.com to barbadosunderground.wordpress.com, I am directed to barbadosunderground. My master password is no longer available on bajan.wordpress.com.

  Also when I do I want to be able to keep my permalinks. I hope this does not sound as confusing as it is writing it :-)
