 * hi guys
    I wanted to set up a Gravatar and was in the back end of my site and
   went to gravatar, couldnt sign in with my wordpress password or userid and had
   to change it , did this and it would accept it. when setting up my WordPress 
   with hostgator I initially had the wrong email address but I thought i had it
   all sorted out untill this evening when the above happened. so this is the mail
   I recieved from wordpress : Hi admin,
 * This notice confirms that your password was changed on Rosie Finnegan.
 * If you did not change your password, please contact the Site Administrator at
   [
   Redacted ]
 * This email has been sent to [ Redacted ]
 * BUT the site admin email ( [ Redacted ] ) is the wrong email !!! arghhhh ! how
   can I bury this email address once and for all !!!

 * What is the email in Settings > General?
    If it is the one you wish to “bury”:),
   then you may change it there.
 * Just FYI – your Gravatar uses a WordPress.com account not your WordPress.org 
   login info – if you were not aware of this.

 * Did you check the box that says “Remember Me” when you logged in? That’s why 
   you don’t need to enter your password.
 * Try to view your Dashboard in another browser, an Incognito window if you use
   Chrome, or a Private Browsing Window if you use Firefox, and you should see that
   you’re once again asked for a username/password to log in.

 * Gravatar uses a WordPress.com account, which is a completely separate thing: 
   [https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com)
 * Register for a WordPress.com account for Gravatar at [http://en.gravatar.com/](http://en.gravatar.com/)
   and just make sure that an email address on your Gravatar account matches the
   email address on your blog’s user account (you can add multiple email addresses
   to your Gravatar profile).
