 * This is the link I used, and it worked. At least, when I went to my site, it 
   prompted for a login, and when I entered the new password I had just used on 
   the phpmyadmin page, I was successfully logged in.
 * [https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/wordpress-password](https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/wordpress-password)
 * I know this won’t help those of you who host your own website, but for those 
   who wander in here looking for help with wordpress.com as I did, I hope it does
   help you.
 * It seems that when bluehost installed wordpress for me, we skipped the create
   a wordpress account step, so I never had a password. Bluehost got me in with 
   a temporary password and gave me the above link to change it.

 * Thank you. I am working on that now. Hopefully, I will have good news to report.

 * Kieth Driscoll, that is what I thought too. The first time I needed a password
   to get in, I checked my list where I had written down passwords, and WordPress
   wasn’t there. I thought that maybe I had forgotten to write it down, but I didn’t
   install WordPress. BlueHost did it over the phone because I had called to cancel
   with BlueHost within a few minutes of signing up because I became concerned that
   I was going to have to purchase a framework and child theme and all of the plugins,
   etc.
 * I may need to go back to BlueHost.

 * Thank you.
 * Before I try to reset my password at the link you gave me, I wanted to post the
   results so far. I tried all three passwords, the original and the two new. None
   worked.
 * Then I noticed that when I had copied and pasted the link, [http://www.empty-nest-addiction.com/wp-admin](http://www.empty-nest-addiction.com/wp-admin)
   I got redirected to [http://www.empty-nest-addiction.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.empty-nest-addiction.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.empty-nest-addiction.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.empty-nest-addiction.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
 * Is that normal?

 * Also, when I use my username rather than my email to login, I get a message that
   tells me it is an invalid username; however, when I can successfully get the 
   forgot password link to work, my email message from WordPress to change the password
   sends my username that it just told me was invalid:
 * Someone recently requested that the password be reset for kmckteeter.
 * I just cannot get in. 🙁
