Password/User name confusion (6 posts)

    I know this is a common issue but I'm really confused. First, I'm not
    sure how or why the system logged me out after several weeks of having access to the dashboard, etc.

    Long story short, I had a name & password for the site, plus separate ones for the forum and a coordinating email. I've tried all in so many combinations that I've confused myself and have no idea what any of my login info is. I read about phpAdmin, is this a plugin or something already existing on my computer. I have little to no coding experience...I just want to update my blog. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi bedstuychick! I'm a little confused by your question, but it sounds like you are no longer able to log into your WordPress Dashboard, is this correct?

    If so, check out the steps listed on this page, as it should help you get back up and running again:

    Hi Brad,

    I've confused myself as well. Basically, no matter how many times
    I change my password, WP will not accept it. I keep getting
    the below message. I've gone through this several times and have
    no idea what else to try. I cannot access my dashboard at all. Thanks for your help.

    ERROR: The password you entered for the email or username [BLANK] is incorrect. Lost your password?

    Yes, thanks. For reasons that still aren't clear, WordPress logs me in with my email rather than my username.
