Hi -- I've just managed to get wordpress working locally on my MAC and signed up for an account. I had successfully signed up but did not receive any confirmation email. Now, I have forgotten my username and password. Please advise if there is a way for me to reset both of these.

Posted 6 months ago #Hi -- I had used the automatic emailer option and then realised that I've actually not got access to the email which I had used to register the account, at the moment. I'm in the process of transferring the domain to my hosting account but had forgotten this and used that as a email address to register my wordpress account. Is there a way to go about the change of the registration email address or do I have to wait for the domain to be transferred and hope that the password reset email is indeed in the inbox? Please kindly help!
