If you are a guest on someone else’s blog, your only recourse is to contact the blog owner/admin and plead your case. There is no connection between this site and the administration of web sites running on WordPress.org software. You will have to take it up with the site owner/administrator.
I am the site owner, I’ve posted over 200 posts. But she set up the account with herself as the administrator. She must have deleted my email connected to the account for logging in. I am still receiving notifications that the password is being reset, so my email must still be associated with the account. I just can not log in. When I do try to log in it says that there is no user registered with that email address. I’m not sure what my options are for that situation?

First, try going back to your lost password link:
(yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword), and entering your user name rather than your email address, and see if the results are any different. If it still doesn’t work, follow the link Ipstenu pointed you to, and then use one of the methods described there to reset your admin password. If you own the site, surely you have access to the control panel located on your web host.
Once you log in there, you should be able to use one of the methods described to reset the administrator password, which will allow you to become the administrator, and take back control of your WordPress site.
If you have phpMyAdmin available in your hosts control panel, that should make it a pretty easy job. There are a couple links to tutorials on how to reset your admin password using phpMyAdmin located here:

1) Reset your passowrd via the link I gave you.
2) CHANGE ALL PASSWORDS (ssh/ftp, SQL, WordPress)
3) DELETE the account for this idiot user. Or make them a subscriber so they can’t do this crap.
4) Hit them with a stick.
If I owned a site and one of my co-admins did this sort of thing, I’d be at their house with my rattan sword and a scowl. Which … may be why my co-admins regard me with a measure of fear and respect.
Thank you Word Press. You were very helpful. This one actually went into a legal dispute, but I got it back – after about a month – and I did delete the user and reset my password! Thank you for all of your help!
