   So I basically cannot for the life of me access the user admin control panel. I log in, and then it keeps reverting me to the same page, home page. and not letting me log in. i need to change the settings, but i can't even access the control panel. what the heck can i do to change this? if it is possible instead of creating a new site.

   Try:
   - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes and adding "-old" to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

   - re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder - from a fresh download of WordPress.

   Is it possible to get someone to delete the site without getting into the control panel and deleting it yourself?

   Hey, so I downloaded the FTP, Filezilla. I followed the directions here to set it up http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla and even disabled my firewalls on my desktop and laptop(tried two different computers) and it still is having trouble connecting and saying,
   Status: Connecting to 216.21.239.197:21...
   Error: Connection timed out
   Error: Could not connect to server

   any other options around this so i can access my site's control panel?
