    Hi,
    I am having issues loging onto /wp-admin using my wordpress username and password. It claims that no such username exsists but I am able to login on wordpress.com with the same information.

    Are you using a wordpress.org self-hosted site, or a wordpress.com community site?

    Okay, well that wouldn’t have anything to do with logging into wordpress.com then. Unless maybe you think you used the same information.

    Either way, you should access the database associated with your wordpress installation via phpMyAdmin. It should end in _wrdp1 or something similar. There you will find a wp_users table. It will show all of your usernames/passwords.

    If you haven’t changed it and forgotten, I would change it as soon as you can log in, as well as any other usernames or passwords associated with the installation. Also think about adding extra security measures/plugins in case it was a hack attempt.
