    Hi,

    WordPress.org and your own website are 2 different things.

    While installing WP on your server you did enter a user/pass and you should use that to login to websitename/wp-admin

    Hi Guido,

    Thanks for taking the time to help.

    I tried using my host password and user name (my host is GoDaddy) to get into my websitename/wp-admin and it did not work. I then tried requesting a new password, but WP does not recognize the email address to register of WP.org. I must still be missing a step somewhere in the process?! Any further thoughts?

    Thanks again!

    Your WordPress site is separate to wp.org and your hosting account, and will use a differnt username and password – unless you’ve set them all the same (If you have, that’s bad).

    If you can’t get into your own WordPress site and the password reset doesn’t work, have a look at this page for instructions on how you can reset your password:
