  I have a wordpress.com blog (incomplete). I have been unable to log in using my old password, so I tried changing it. Every single time I change it and go to log in, it tells me the password is incorrect. I have tried 6 different password changes thinking maybe one would take.

  Is this a site problem? What is the deal here, and can anyone tell me how to get around this. I have no intention of changing my url.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

  I don’t want to leave a link. I want to know how to get around this considering I’m paying for something with a problem that needs to be resolved. When I get a human answering then I will give a link.

  Thanks

  I’m paying for something with a problem that needs to be resolved.

  Please post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question. Also note that this is the WordPress.com support form and none of us pay for hosting here. Any upgrade we may purchase is only for specific functions, and purchasing upgrades for specific functions does no amount to paying for web hosting, so you may indeed be in the wrong support forum.

  I can’t pull up an active link, which should be:

  http://dogsandcatsandhorseohmy.wordpress.com

  It sends me to this instead: http://en.wordpress.com/typo/?subdomain=cateburns

  which is what I had to register to even get into this forum for some possible help.

  A couple of clicks and maybe a misspelling and I found this site:

  http://dogsandcatsandhorsesohmy.com/

  Is that the one you registered Sept 14?

  This is the log in page
