Hi there,
The site you are referring to appears to be a self-hosted WordPress (also called “.org”) site hosted on an outside web hosting company, and not a site hosted on our WordPress.com service.
To clarify, we are not the only providers of WordPress sites, and outside web hosting companies also happens to offer WordPress sites, but they use a different version of the platform than what we use here. Because of this we are not able to help with your issue as it lies outside of our system. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for more info.
Specifically we use a custom login system on WordPress.com that is not the same as how logins are handled on self-hosted WordPress sites, so we would not be familiar with your issue.
However, the good news is that as long as you have access to the server control panel through your host, it is always possible to regain access to your self-hosted WordPress site. This WordPress.org Codex article will walk you through it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
You can ask outside web hosting companies support for direct assistance in completing the steps in that article; they would be in the best position to help.
Hope that points you in the right direction!
