  Hi, I had to get a new laptop today and I don’t have my wordpress.org password and I don’t remember what it is. I tried typing in my email, as well as my username, to get a password reset sent to me, and it keeps saying they aren’t valid. So I’m unable to login or even reset the password. What can I do?

  Hello there!

  You can use the Account Recovery Page<a href=”Account Recovery Page
  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery”&gt;
  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  That should be working for you. Let me know how it goes! Have a great day :)

  These forums are for folks hosted on WordPress.com, but it doesn’t look like you have any site hosted here.

  If you’re trying to reset the password to your own self-hosted WordPress site (running the WordPress software on your own hosting) here are some techniques:

  If you’re actually trying to get the password for your account on WordPress.org (i.e. the site where you can post in the forums or upload a plugin) then please email forum-password-resets AT wordpress DOT org.
