Dumb question but where do I find the Admin panel?
You cannot use that method because you cannot login.
These you can use:
1 Through FTP
2 Through phpMyAdmin
3 Through MySQL Command Line
I’ve looked down the list but it’s all way over my head as I’m a computer phobe
I think through FTP is the easiest method.
Or if you can Edit files through a file manager your host provides it is also possible.
Download FileZilla and start using it with the instructions found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla
Navigate (using Filezilla) to the your theme’s functions.php file and download it. Edit it with a text editor. Put this line just below the opening <?php:
wp_set_password('my_new_password',1);
Change 'my_new_password' to a new password and save and reupload the file using FileZilla.
Try and login with your admin name and the new password.
If all is well, download functions.php again remove the line you put in and reupload it back to the server.
Just forwarded this to a friend who knows more about computers than I do and she said to point out that I only log onto my blog via the internet – I have nothing downloaded for WordPress
If your on a WorPress.com site ask their forums why you don’t get an email confirmation http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ or what the solution to your problem is
Thanks didn’t realise this was the worng forum. The one you’ve posted link to requires my password so I’m back to square one
I’ve tried that but it isn’t sending the password reminder to any email address that I use
Contact support at wordpress.com. There’s nothing we can do here to help you.
Thanks. Just contacted them for a second time and hoping they reply sometime soon
