 * hi.
 * i had someone design my blog in wp and they have been designing a website around
   the blog. they are currently mia and i was supposed to launch my site jan 1. 
   when i look at the site users there are 2 “admin” and “ashley” both labeled super
   admin. i did some research and am totally confused. if i, ashley, am super admin
   wouldn’t i have access to everything?
 * since my designer is mia and not returning emails or calls how can i get access
   to the backend of wp so i can have a new person come in and finish the job? i
   gave a new wp person my account info and he said i wasn’t an admin…totally lost.
 * how can i make myself an admin? is there a way i can back everything up and go
   through my site host…or? sorry i have no idea about any of this and am pretty
   stressed at the moment. really need to get this figured out asap.
 * thanks in advance!
