  I reset my password today because I could not remember the password on posts I did in 2014. But I think I just reset the password for my account, didn’t I? I stupidly didn’t write down the 2014 post password and it does not appear to be reset like my account. How can I get in to re-read and see my 2014 posts please?

  Hi there – if you are unable to log back into your site, let’s try the password reset form first.

  Follow the instructions in the password reset process here: https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#password-reset-process

  Once you are able to log back into your site, let us know and we can help you with the second part of your question about passwords on posts. :)

  Thanks for offering to help. I was easily able to change the password for my site thanks, and can go there whenever I want.

  It’s the mistake I made in not recording my password that is my problem. If you can help with that I’d be very grateful.

  Hi Clive,

  To remove or change the password on that post you need to change its visibility settings. Since you’re the author of that post you don’t even have to remember the password. Please follow these instructions:
