Old WP blog and new WP blog/website – how do I make separate accounts?

    I goofed up, but not sure what I did wrong.

    I’ve been running a free blog on WP for several years: http://gotnomilk.wordpress.com. My display name there is kitchenetta.

    Yesterday, I started a second blog/website (bought my domain through WP) called terryfreemarkwatercolors.com, using my same account as the gotnomilk blog.

    I didn’t realize that the same display name (kitchenetta) to display for each account, so I tried to transfer the watercolors website to a new accoung on WP (I set a new account up first as per WP directions before clicking the transfer button).

    The problem is, I can’t get into my new website with my new accound. I keep getting this message when I try to login:

    “User terryfreemark Cannot Access the Dashboard Requested

    You are logged in as “terryfreemark” and do not have the necessary privileges to access the dashboard for “TerryFreemarkWatercolors”. If you are not “terryfreemark”, please log out, and log back in with your username. If you are “terryfreemark” and you need access, please ask an administrator of the site to invite you.”

    I can only get in to the Dashboard of my watercolor site by signing in to my gotnomilk blog and reaching the watercolor site through the graybar at the top of the page.

    Can anyone help me? I want my new site, the watercolor site, on a separate account, unconnected with the gotnomilk blog, and with a different display name and user name than my free blog.

    Many thanks in advance.
