 * Yesterday I set up my wordpress.org blog site which I dont have a username and
   password for. When I was able to view it today I couldnt log in as it says my
   email address is unknown. it is hosted through namecheap.com. Any help to access
   my blog would be greatly appreciated. I have downloaded wordpress 3.0.1

 * I have found that you have to make sure you go to the specific login for your
   page to get the e-mail sent properly.
 * [http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php](http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php)
   and NOT the generic wordpress login.
 * Perhaps that will help?

 * When you install WordPress you are asked to provide a Username for the main admin
   account(it’s part of the installation process for 3.0+), if this wasn’t provided
   then i can only assume you did this through a custom installer provided by your
   web host and i’d suggest checking their FAQ(if they have one) or alternatively
   seeking advice from them on how to track down the login credentials for the installation..
 * You might be fortunate enough to retrieve the password by one of suggested methods
   by Esmi, but failing those methods drop an email to your host, or alteratively
   try a [manual installatio](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress)n(
   ie. without the webhosts custom install procedure)..

 * As a last resort and since it’s a brand new and unused install – re-installing
   might be a viable option.

 * I’ve been trying to login to admin my site and cant get in! All the passwords
   via word press were reset on 21 June 2011 – last Thursday and ever since then
   I have lost access to the back of site OR the front view (public). The site shows
   up in the browser i.e. google but the actual page/site wont show up when you 
   click the link. Whats up word press?

 * hi manawa, you should start your own thread.
 * but anyway, that password reset only affects your account to these forums. your
   own site is hosted by your own server on your own database and was thus not affected
   by the password reset.

 * Thanks for your reply!
 * So to clarify – when i follow the [http://www.tuhoe.iwi.nz/wp-login-php](http://www.tuhoe.iwi.nz/wp-login-php)
   link via my email, that is taking me into my own server and database?
 * And are you telling me that I need to focus my efforts on server and database
   to resolve this issue?
 * i.e. server needs a reboot or something?

 * that depends on where the domain name is pointing to, but it’s either your own
   server or one belonging to whoever you pay for webhosting.
 * yes, you have to first check that the server works, PHP works, the database can
   be reached and you can reach the login page before you even consider whether 
   it’s a password issue.

 * Thanks for your input – I’ll keep in touch. We are trying to find out who is 
   our website host now! I manage the site but I dont know who the host is. We are
   looking for an invoice.
