 * I had my web guy create my site. I always new my username and password but when
   i tried to log on to wp id get the authentication required pop up. According 
   to the forums id have to contact my hosting company which i did and they lifted
   that block. But now im having trouble logging in. I had my username and password
   saved with chrome and its not working. I cant remember if i changed my password
   but when i went to lost password link, i entered my username and it said that
   an email was sent to my email address with login instructions but i never received
   it and i have no idea on how to login. I hope i wasnt hacked and someone put 
   in their email address instead. Can anyone help?

 * Check your wp-users table within your database (if you know how to access it),
   and make sure that you’re one of the registered users. Additionally, make sure
   that you’re using the right email address that you started with.
 * Hope this helps…

 * If you cannot manage this yourself, perhaps you need to consider [hiring someone](http://jobs.wordpress.net/)
   to carry out the work for you?
