    Hello all,

    Perhaps I made my original post below, too complicated, for which I apologise.

    Hope this is better.

    1. Where to log in to find dashboard, or WordPress equivilant, or how to edit, or delete, unwanted blogs?

    2. How to change unwanted and too complicated password?

    Thank you,

    Cheers,

    Ray.

    Hello,

    Couldn’t remember password. Another, complicated, one sent.
    Wished to change it. Help said to change through admin tag
    NO admin tag!

    Wanted to delete my original name of http://healthfitnessweb.com/, create a brand new domain name with about five linked blogs, about WWII aircraft prints, but found nowhere to edit, or delete my original URL, with which I originally signed on.

    Surely, WordPress can’t be this complicated? Been going around in circles for an hour.

    Not a complete idiot as I flew F-86’s in Korea, I know my eyes are failing, but this has me beat!

    Ray..

    1. You’ll have to talk to your hosting company about ‘completely’ deleting your domain but as for WordPress, just delete all the files and folders where WordPress was installed and delete the database. I’d recommend reading WordPress Backups and backup your files and folders before you delete anything.
    2. Click on Users->Your Profile to change your WordPress password.

    First, sorry Michael, but accidentally also put this under someone else’s post, so I’m repeating it here.

    Hello Michael, thank you for trying to assist I do appreciate it however, it might be better if I scrub the whole operation, deleting everything in WordPress and start again and scratch.

    I have tried downloading the new version through FileZilla three, or four, times now, but to no avail and must get cracking and try to bring in an income. I followed all the instructions, deleting the files I was told to delete. I tried uploading as both individual files, as well as folders. I tried every combination of your instructions that I could think of, but when I log on again I am greeted with “A new version is available! Please update now.”, every time.

    As I said, it might be easier for me to simply delete my whole WordPress operation and simply upload a new, fresh, one through my cpanel in my host, qualityhostonline.com. What is it called? Fantastico? Something like that.

    If I delete all my WordPress files through FileZilla, I could still run into some very bad problems as they do not all appear to be in folders, but many are loose and scattered among files from my other websites. That’s what it looks like, anyway.

    Now, I notice there appears to be a new beta version of WordPress on the horizon, but I’ll face that problem when I get to it.

    One other tiny thing. I had worked this post out and try to send the message back to you, but it said it had been closed, or resolved and I lost all my writing, so I just had to do it all again. That peed me off a bit, I can tell you. Doing this first in notepad, just in case!

    Suggestions and advice from you, or others on the forum will be most appreciated by me. Thank you all.

    Cheers,

    Ray.

    If you don’t want to use the Dreamhost one-click installer, then review Installing WordPress and Uploading WordPress to a remote host.
