 * Several months ago I had someone build a wp site for me. They used their e-mail
   address to set up the account. It’s been a while since I’ve accessed the admin
   area, and have forgotten my password. The person who built the site can’t be 
   found, so I can’t retrieve my password. Is there anyway I can get access to the
   admin area of my site?

 * I think my question should have been worded differently. Can I gain access to
   my wp admin area if I don’t know the password and don’t know how to get the e-
   mail account that registered the website with wp. I am not able to get into the
   admin area at all.
