 * If it’s not one thing it’s anothr, right.
 * I’ve looked all over wordpress support but I feel like nothing has helped me 
   so far, and I don’t want to go about editing any wordpress files until I know
   i’m not overlooking something.
 * I know I created another user other than “Admin” and I know that I know the password
   as well. However, I can’t login no matter what I do. When I request my password
   be sent to me, it doesn’t recognize my email address. I’ve cleared my cache and
   cookies, restarted my browser, tried different browsers, and tried different 
   computers. The last time I updated my blog was on the 22nd of December (my blog
   is not currently up at the moment as i’m working on a few things)and i’m sure
   that I haven’t fiddled with any files other than to edit my layout.
 * What do you think I should do?

 * Hiya…. if it were me, I’d bag that user and make a new one. Sometimes the stupidest
   things crap out, and that seems to be one of them….
 * I’ve got one install where I’ve added about a dozen “extras” over time, because
   it just won’t behave. If I had to make a definitive statement about it, I think
   it has something to do with them all coming from only a couple of emails….

 * Hii 😀
 * How do you go about making a new user though? I thought that would involve going
   into wp-admin (or one of those wp files) and changing it around and stuff.
 * I think your wordpress support password should be the same as your blog password,
   that’s what I think! 😀

 * Yup, that would help! But until that day….
 * In order to make a new user you have two options: first – in the login screen
   click on register, follow the prompts; second – when you’re logged in as admin,
   go to the admin screens, in Users/Authors, scroll to the bottom of the Users 
   page, create a new user.

 * Yes, except i’m stuck at the wp-admin screen. I can’t get into wordpress to do
   anything at all :o\

 * Now wait a minute. Can’t you just login as admin with the original password you
   were sent?

 * Which means you didn’t read the tutorial offered to get back your pw. Why are
   you expecting further support…?

   you.
