  Hi labmanjames,

  If the account is with WordPress.com, here is the account recovery documentation.

  https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

  If the website is using the WordPress.org platform, hosted elsewhere, here is that help documentation.

  https://wordpress.org/support/article/resetting-your-password/

  If you can provide the URL of the website we can help direct you to the correct documentation if those don’t help.

  Cheers,
  Eric
