    One of our other websites that uses wordpress, we are not able to login because we forgot the admin login (we have a lot of users) and our IT manager has left. Is there anything you could do to help us out here?

    We’re just trying to at least get the email of one of the admin accounts on there so we can do the reset password process, we just don’t even know which email it was.

    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    However, if you have access to the server control panel through your web host, it should be possible to regain access to a self-hosted, WordPress site. I recommend checking out this support guide:
