  I created a wordpress account via godaddy when I signed up for hosting. I was able to login via my username and password I selected at godaddy. I began editing my site and everythign was fine. Well when I got to work this morning, I tried to login and login failed. I tried multiple times with no luck. I then selected the option of “forgot password” and it told me to enter my user name or email. I entered my username and it said the name doesn’t exist. I then tried the email address and it again said the user didn’t exist. I then remote logged into my computer at home and was able to login via the “remembered” password in firefox and went to my profile and my username and email address is exactly as I am entering it….what the heck is going on? I then then tried to go to wordpress with a different browser from my home computer and the login failed just as it has at work. I didn’t see anywhere where I can contact wordpress directly via email or phone so I opted to post here in hope that someone may be able to help. I even had to create a different account so that I could even post here since my login is failing. Any help would be appreciated.

  Regards,

  Eric

  I have an old blog that needs updating but cannot find a login. The only thing that shows under my name is a newer one I created a few days ago. I think the old one may have been a free blog but cannot remember.
