 * Hello,
 * I recently paid a developer to do a migration from Xsitepro to WordPress. I was
   given the rights to modify the site via admin and now the developer is no longer
   working on the project I find myself locked out of my own site.
 * Is there anything I can do to get administration back to my site ?

 * Thanks in advance

 * A note to the above. I have just logged onto the site using FTP and discovered
   the website files but no installation of WP. If I install WP will I be able to
   update my site as usual ?

 * [http://www.libertyigloo.co.uk](http://www.libertyigloo.co.uk) is in fact a site
   that is already running on wordpress. Try adding /wp-admin to the end of your
   url and see if you can log in with the user info you already have.
