 * Hi [@alice16pontual](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alice16pontual/),
 * You should still be able to login with the _wrong_ email address.
 * Or is it that you lost the password and can’t reset it because the password reset
   email doesn’t come to you?
 * If that’s the case, do you have access to cPanel or the database itself? Using
   a tool like phpMyAdmin will allow you to change the details of your user account.
 * Here’s a solid article about how to do so:

 * Hi alice16pontual,
 * One way is to use phpMyadmin to modify your current email in database. For your
   connivance follow following steps
 * 1- Login to your cPanel
    2- Click phpMyAdmin icon 3- Select the database from
   next screen 4- Select the “WP_users” table 5- Click the pencil icon (left side)
   of the user i.e “admin” 6- Replace the required email in “user_email”
 * Hope this will help you,
 * Kind Regards,
    Kashif
