  Wordpress does not recognize my email address, my username, or my password. What do I do now?

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

  Hi –

  Which site are you trying to access? Please share the address.

  You may need to recover the account with proof of ownership:

  Thanks for your reply, Liz.
  I think that the source of my problem is a WordPress account I created for a blog I started 5 years ago. It is being confused with what I am doing with this website. In the future, I will access my website through my Bluehost account. Direct access to WordPress does not seem necessary as long as I can manage and edit the website through Bluehost.
  P.S. I was able to use that link to change my WordPress email and password.

  Thanks @gmoseley3, yeah, WordPress.com and individual installations at other hosts are not quite the same thing. Sorry for the confusion!

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
