  I couldn’t login in to Akismet or Relevanssi, so I changed my WordPress password. Now when I go to the dashboard, everything I previously set up is gone. Akismet is telling me I signed up for WordPress via Akismet, but I already HAD a WordPress account.

  Now I don’t know if I have two accounts, or if I need to start over, which I REALLY don’t want to do!

  WordPress.com and Gravatar are together forever.
  Does this help? Why Does WordPress.com Say I Already Have an Account? http://en.gravatar.com/support/existing-account/

  Also note that Akismet is also owned by Automattic which owns WordPress.com too. You can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery. https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
