Hi all,
My emails were lost and that is where is tored my passwords. Now I need to update my website and administrator is asking me for my logindetails, which i don't have.
I can't ask for a new password without having my username.
I've looked through the topics in here for a sollution but not much is provided up to now. Wordpress advertises this forum as helpfull tool for troubleshooting. My expectations are high.
How can I retrieve my username?
Thank you for your help
best regards,
Luca Giordano

right. I've seen it. That topic only talks about resetting a password, which you can't do if you haven'y got a username.
I'm looking to retrieve my username
right. you retrieve your username the same way. BOTH are stored in the database. BOTH are stored in the same table in the same database.
If you looked at the images here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin
specifically, this one:

it displays the username.

ok, sorry for that.
I'm very much an enduser. This is quite hard to comprehend for me. I will pass this through to the people who do know how to deal with this info.
Thank you!

Right! I have tried to understand this. but for someone who is a complete enduser and has no real knowledge of this matter is is uncomprehensible.
I think my issue is fairly simple. isn't there any way how I can contact Wordpress for some support ???
See if the following video helps.
