# Access level changed?

 * When I first signed up with WordPress, I was the administrator and could approve
   comments, etc. We also had an option that would allow me to choose who authored
   a blog post, and I had two names in that.
 * Now, when I login as site administrator, my access is restricted. I can’t approve
   comments, for example. And I am listed as the author of anything new I add, and
   the other person’s name has disappeared as an option.
 * I don’t know why this happened, but feel like it might have been when I tried
   to login and had forgotten my password.
 * How can I fix this? I have comments right now I want to approve and this is a
   time-sensitive issue.
 * My blog: [http://www.fatfreemind.com](http://www.fatfreemind.com)
 * Thanks

 * You would need to access your blog’s database using something like Phpmyadmin
   and check your entry in the wp_users table.
