  What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM. It does not apply to wordpress.ORG software installs.

  You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

  I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

  If the login information has been lost go to
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

  If required use the account recovery form
