 * Hello everyone,
 * Basically, I got locked out of a WordPress account when I was trying to do some
   redirection with a website. I had a WordPress based site (development.ache-chea.
   ca) and I wanted my domain (ache-chea.ca) to show the WordPress site.
    Because
   I wasn’t too sure on what to do, I blindly removed the “development” part out
   of the URL from the settings area. Now, I am unable to do anything. Every time
   I go to [http://development.ache-chea.ca](http://development.ache-chea.ca), it
   redirects me to [http://ache-chea.ca](http://ache-chea.ca). When I try to log
   into WordPress through development.ache-chea.ca/wp-login.php, I cannot do that
   at all. I’m not really sure what to do. I don’t want to re-install WordPress 
   because all the content may get deleted and my coworker and I worked pretty hard
   on the website.
 * Thank you so much.

 * Use this form of URL to access admin.
 * servername/~username/development/wp-admin
    IPaddress/~username/development/wp-

 * Hi Joe,
 * Thank you for your help. Quick question: what do you mean by “servername”? I’m
   a bit confused about that part.

 * your site is hosted upon A2 Hosting. According to them
 * “If you have a shared hosting account, add a2hosting.com to the Server Name value.
   For example, if cPanel displays a2s78 for your server name, then the complete
   server name is a2s78.a2hosting.com.”
 * I checked your PTR record. It is a2ss27.a2hosting.com
 * Hope that helps.
