Title: Lost my access… Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Lost my access… * Resolved [ghulst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghulst/) * (@ghulst) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-my-access/) * Ok, I have had this site opdemotor.nl for a while now. I have written some stuff on it back in 2012 (yes, that long ago) and then just let it slide. However, I decided I wanted to get back to that site and bring it back to life. However, I have lost my access. And not my username, but when I go to [http://opdemotor.nl/wp-admin/](http://opdemotor.nl/wp-admin/) it tells me the page does not exist. 🙁 * How can I find the place where I need to log in? Please? * (And yes, I feel pretty stupid about this. Thanks.) * (WordPress version is a guess, can’t find it and can’t log in to check.)

Also, my keychain solidly points to /wp-admin/ and not to another location. * In the meantime I have tried to completely remove the wp-content/plugins/ and removing everything but the standard WP themes from wp-content/themes/ * Neither solved anything… * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-my-access/#post-5027501) * The first url you posted was opdemotor.**nl**! * you need to complete the upgrade on your site by going to [http://opdemotor.com/wp-admin](http://opdemotor.com/wp-admin) * Did you make a database backup before you started this upgrade? if not, I suggest you do so now before proceeding any further. As you have such an old version of WordPress, you should really carry out a series of smaller manual upgrades( see [Upgrading_WordPress_Extended](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended) for the full details). Upgrading 3 major version in a single step greatly increases the chance of database damage. * Thread Starter [ghulst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghulst/) * (@ghulst) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-my-access/#post-5027516) * LOL, how about that for stupidity… Must be Friday afternoon… * Anyway, the update did it. I am probably going to restructure the whole thing again anyway, so the database is not a big concern of mine. Nor are the plugins. I just wanted to know whether I could still access it. Don’t know what was wrong at first, but the 3.9.1 apparently did the trick. Even though I know I should not have done it that way in the first place. If it hadn’t worked, I would have rebuilt the thing from scratch. (Backups were made before all this btw.) * Thanks! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-my-access/#post-5027517) * Glad to hear that you now have access. 🙂 Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Lost my access…’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/login/) * [moved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/moved/) * [retrieve](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/retrieve/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * Last activity: [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-my-access/#post-5027517) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
