  My friend’s website was hacked and the email was changed. Please help cpak596 change the password to the WordPress user, so cpak596 can keep blogging.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

  If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

  No, I didn’t because it was my friend’s blog which I do not contribute to.

  That was an auto-response: there’s no point in replying to it.
