  Hi:

  I had to register anew in order to use the forums.

  Even though my blog is automatically signed in both at work & at home, every once in a while I get logged out.
  When it happened at home today, I tried to sign in again with my password but WordPress didn’t accept it.
  Then, when I clicked on “lost password”, I did not receive the email to reset my password.
  I’ve attempted to reset it both here at work – where I am currently – and at home so there will be several log in attempts from 2 different IP addresses.

  My actual blog is toniatwood.wordpress.com. Can you please help?

  The email goes to the email address associated with the blog, so make sure you’re checking the correct account. Also, look in the Junk Mail folder. Because the reminder is automated, it often goes there.

  ALso, you may have to wait up to an hour for the email to show up. I ran into that problem earlier this year. Just click it and wait. Check in an hour.
