  I can no longer log in to my sites. http://nelson-wells.com is the main one.
  I’ve tried logging in with my usual email, and my backup,
  and my 2nd backup.
  None are working. All say ‘You don’t have any WordPress sites yet’…
  Please advise.
  Thank you,
  nelson Wells,

  Hi there,

  The site nelson-wells.com appears to be a self-hosted WordPress (also called “.org”) site, and not a site on WordPress.com.

  You can confirm here: https://gwhois.org/nelson-wells.com+dns

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org (the version of the platform GoDaddy uses) are two different entities, but the essential difference is that we don’t have access to all WordPress sites, only the ones hosted on our WordPress.com servers. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for more info.

  However, if you have access to the server control panel through the host for your site, it is always possible to regain access to a self-hosted WordPress site. This WordPress.org Codex article will walk you through it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password

  You may also wish to contact your hosting support team for direct assistance; they would be in the best position to help.

  Hope that points you in the right direction,
