As Google Apps updates their limited function ("bloggeradmin") account setup process, we see reports from confused Blogger blog owners.
The Google Apps password reset uses a standard Google account reset process - and is subject to normal account reset behaviour. If you don't reset the right account, you won't be able to login, later.
The Google Apps "bloggeradmin" account setup works best using two browsers.
The password reset, for "bloggeradmin@mydomain.com" (as an example, here) involves a Google account reset.
When you attempt to login to Google Apps, click on "Can't access your account?". That takes you into the Google Account Reset process.
Provide the full account name of your Apps account.
If possible, use two different browsers. And, to be safe, clear cache, cookies, and sessions (yes, all 3!) - then restart the second browser, before opening the password reset email.
The password reset will be more likely to be successful, if your Blogger account is based on an active and real email address - this is not a good time to be anonymous.
(Update 2013/11/03): This process should be slightly simplified, with Google Apps now using the new Google comprehensive login screen.
