    I have a new computer and I can’t access my old WordPress account for ericgalvezdpt.com. I used an old email to create the WP account and I don’t recall the login information. The old email was deleted. It hasn’t been updated in a while. Can someone help me access it?

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Unknown
    Correct account: Unknown

    Hi there,

    The forum you’re posting in now is for the hosting provider, WordPress.com, but your site at ericgalvezdpt.com is not hosted with us, so we’re not able to help in this case. The password for your admin account for that site is stored in your site’s database on your hosting provider’s servers, so contacting them directly is your best bet for getting help with this – many hosts offer a way for you to reset this directly via your hosting control panel.

    Otherwise you can see the password reset instructions for your version of WordPress at https://wordpress.org/support/article/resetting-your-password/ for other methods, like changing the password directly in the database.

    For more help with this, you can also ask the WordPress.org community for advice at https://wordpress.org/support/forums, though I recommend you try your hosting provider, Dreamhost.com, first.
