Can’t remember my admin username

    I am trying to log in to my wordpress admin page. I cannot remember, for the life of me, my username. I have tried my email which, apparently, is not associated with the site. Yet it sent the “forgot password” link to that email.
    I know my password but not my username.

    – The password is encrypted and stored in the database in the users table. To see or reset password, review https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/resetting-your-password/
    – Username is also stored in the users table. To see or change username, click the edit button (the pencil icon) next to your user and change what is entered into the user_login field.
    – You can see or update the admin email for your site in the wp_options table, and replace the email address in the row with the key “admin_email”
