Cannot access my own dashboard
-
Hello,
I made a site quite a few years ago and for some reason I can no longer access the dashboard of the site. I know that the email address is the same but I am uncertain of whether I am using the correct username. I am looking to access this site https://beyondweirdness.wordpress.com/ .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi, @tabooga,
I am happy to point you in the right direction.
If you know the email address but can’t remember the password, try this form: https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you don’t remember the username and password for the account, please follow these account recovery instructions:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#account-recovery-formLink to the account recovery form: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
Let me know how this works for you.

Thanks so much for your reply.
I know my email address and password.
I have tried account recovery but as I know the email address of the account it does not allow me to continue recovery.
What I am having difficulty with is knowing the username associated to https://beyondweirdness.wordpress.com/.
I thought the username associated to this site was tabooga but after logging into this account I cannot access my site.
I really confused as to what to do as I have no recollection or emails suggesting that the username for the account is not tabooga…
Thanks!

Hi, @tabooga,
Happy to assist. Ah, never easy to remember an old username, is it?
What we can do is ask a staff member to send an email to the email associated to the account, and if all goes well, you will get it. :) I do see that the author of an early post is named, “Hu” not sure if that helps.
I am placing the modlook tag on this thread for staff attention. If you resolve it in the meantime, please let me know.
How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question?
Some issues require staff member help. If you see or add a thread that you know needs staff intervention, you can add the modlook tag to the tags area of the thread to make sure we see it.Staff: Would you kindly send an email to the email address associated with https://beyondweirdness.wordpress.com/ ? @tabooga doesn’t remember login information. Thought this might be a way to go.
Thank you.

Hi there,
That site belongs to a different account than the one you’re posting as here. The username that owns that site is massmultipliedbyvelocity
Please log out of this account and clear your browser cache and cookies, then try resetting the password for that username. If you still have access to the correct email account, you’ll receive a password reset link at that address (not the same as your email for the tabooga account).

A trick you might find helpful: If you can find the Author archive link on the site, visible under the post title in the single post view on most themes, the URL will reveal the username or the author. On a single-author site, that can show you the username of the site owner:
https://beyondweirdness.wordpress.com/author/massmultipliedbyvelocity/
