I have recently installed wordpress on my server and yesterday could happily download themes and work with the dashboard etc.
Today I cannot log in using the usename and password I was supplied with.
I can log in using wordpress.org and see my profile and details, but cannot access the dashboard using wordpress.com
Am I doing something wrong? I have looked for a dashboard in wordpress.org but cannot find it. What am I doing wrong? Any thoughts?

wordpress.org and wordpress.com are completely separate. Is your site hosted on wordpress.com or did you download it an install it on your own (hosted) server?

WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate entities, Your WordPress.com details may be different to that of WordPress.org username/password.
Due to this, you'll have to contact WordPress.com support: http://en.support.wordpress.com/ I would personally follow the steps to reset your password here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/ (by using the email address you signed up with)
Edit: As pointed out above.. If you've installed it on your own host, then you're not using WordPress.com at all. instead you should login via http://site.com/wp-admin/

Thankyou very much!
I had no idea you had to go to http://site.com/wp-admin/ if you self host.
That worked a treat!
