# Can’t get WordPress.com API key — password issue!

 * As my first step to solving my spam problem, I have tried activating the Akismet
   plugin. I get a message saying it’s almost ready to to get the WP API key (that’s
   in a link).
 * When I click on the link ([http://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=auth&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.wordpress.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fprofile.php](http://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=auth&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.wordpress.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fprofile.php)),
   I get a login screen, then I get an error message saying my login info is incorrect!
 * Nothing works from here! Neither the password with which I log in to my blog (
   which works when I log in), nor the email address I enter when I click on the“
   Forgot password” link — the same email that is associated with my profile!
 * Anybody have any suggestions? I’m stumped!
