    WordPress.com blogs and WordPress.org self hosted blogs have nothing to do with each other.

    There is no connection between the two. The information is not shared at all, ever.

    If you want your .org email reset, go to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php and click on the recover password link.

    “no connection between the two”

    Well, it is routine now to advise all users of my network to also become member of wordpress.com and thereby use it as an “Account hub for all Automattic services”.

    Just today I was supporting users that were a bit buffaloed at the differing usernames/passwords they had to recover for Jetpack, gravatar, akismet, polldaddy on our self-hosted “.org” blog.

    Jetpack is increasing popular(and has an array of awesome bells and whistles). Whereas I would have hesitated to tie blogs to wordpress.com before, I heartily recommend it now.

    Anyway, not receiving an email from a server you manage? Bust into your db with phpmyadmin to recover your password.

    Bust into your db with phpmyadmin to recover your password.

    You could but that sometimes is cumbersome to some users poking at mysql that way.

    If you can get file level access via FTP or whatever filemanagement tools your host has provided you with then give this method a try.

    You’ll need to get the correct user ID (if it’s not 1) and make sure you make a backup copy of whatever file you edit first.
