  Hello all! I am having trouble logging into my admin website.

  Yes, I’m using /wp-login.php — to log in.

  Normally my web designer logs in – but I wanted to poke around.

  It took my to the “reset” password page. I entered my email – which it accepted, but I haven’t gotten an email yet. Any suggestions?

  Note: I know 0 to nothing about word press. =)

  Hello, your site appears to be a self-hosted WordPress site since it uses /wp-login.php. This is the forum for websites that are hosted on WordPress.com. We cannot provide assistance for websites that are not hosted on WordPress.com. For self-hosted websites, you may use the WordPress.org forums.

  You are not receiving emails because many web hosting platforms block the SMTP port, and you have to set it up with your own email sender provider. I suggest you contact your hosting to get assistance recovering your WordPress site.
