  Hi there!

  The process for recovering lost passwords, or any login credentials for that matter is outlined in this document:

  Change or Reset Your Password

  Let us know if this solves the problem.

  All the best!

  The link provided above about password recovery only applies to sites hosted at WordPress.com.
  Is your unnamed site still online and was it created using the WordPress.org software? If so see: https://wordpress.org/support/article/resetting-your-password/
