  wordpress.com has a thight security on their system, https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/
  To increase the security, make sure you use a strong password and activate Two Step Authentication

  Hi there, if burwashbikeboxhire.wordpress.com is the site you need help with, please see the information that @staartmees provided about how you can secure your WordPressdotcom account.

  If by chance you need help with a site using the open source WordPress software available at WordPress.org, please see https://codex.wordpress.org/Brute_Force_Attacks and for further assistance with this issue you can post at the forums at https://wordpress.org/support where they have more experience with the software you are using. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on the top of that page.

  Just to clarify, this support forum assists users of the WordPressdotcom platform. WordPressdotcom (where we are ) and WordPress are separate entities with different documentation and support forums. More information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
