    Your username and password for WordPress.COM and your self-hosted blog are not tied together in any way, two completely different systems.

    Here are my server details, in case it helps!

    phpMyAdmin – 2.11.9.5
    MySQL client version: 5.0.85
    I’ve tested my Login using Internet Explorer, Safari/Firefox and Opera, to no avail.

    So could the problem be that I’m using the wrong login page? If so, where would I find my self-hosted blog login page?

    Ok, let’s start from the beginning…

    WordPress.org allows you to self host your own blog. You manage and install yourself and you can customise your own version until your heart’s content. It’s flexible, but you bear the full responsibility of maintaining and fixing it if something goes wrong.

    WordPress.com is a hosted service. Upgrades are managed for you, the learning curve isn’t quite so steep, but you don’t have as much control over what you do with your blog.

    A wordpress.org user might have a username and password for wordpress.com (if you need an Akismet key for example), but you don’t use those same login details if you want to get into your wordpress.org blog.

    If you’re using PHPMyAdmin to look at your database, it’d suggest to me that your self hosting (ie wordpress.org), so you need to be logging into your blog on your own server, ie:
    http://www.yourdomainname.com/wp-admin/

    Hi there,

    Thanks so much! I can now access the login page; however, I must have messed something up in the process, because I see the login page, but there’s no place for me to enter my username or password.

    In the process of trying to retrieve my password, I replaced the wp-login.php file with an updated copy of wp-login.php (via the latest download available at WordPress.org).

    Any idea how this could be fixed?

    Thank you sooooo much!

    A manual upgrade of WordPress fixed my problem! Thank you so much.

    Hello. I’m having a similar problem. I go through GoDaddy and uploaded WordPress through their system. I had a lot of issues a couple weeks ago and I’m just now getting the patience to come back. I had to erase my current WordPress and then download it all over. I have a .COM username and password, but I can’t figure out how to retrieve the username and password for the .ORG — I go to my website and try to login there (which takes me to http://thesoireecafe.com/wp-login.php), but it keeps telling met that I have the wrong username — AND THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 2 usernames that I’ve EVER used and it’s showing that neither of those are valid. Can you please help. Thank you so much in advance.

    Oh, I’m so sorry… reverse that. Apparently I can’t figure out the .COM — I’ve created 2 .ORG username and passwords before I read this not knowing that the .COM and the .ORG were separate entities.
