  Hi,

  I accidentally changed the site name in my WordPress account page as I was trying to migrate websites from one site to another and now I am getting a 404 error and can’t access my wp-admin page. I tried to go back to reset it, but it gets me into a loop of signing in then bringing me to the wrong URL with the 404 error.

  Hi,

  The domain hosting provider is GoDaddy.
  Your website uses wordpress.org software.

  There’s a difference in wordpress.com and wordpress.org.
  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  So, You have to contact GoDaddy on this.
