  Hi there,

  I have been made aware of a breach of a site I edit, and can no longer log in on the admin account for the site. I need someone from wordpress to advise me please. I have tried re-setting the account password, but the e-mails I believe to be associated with it do not appear to be operational.

  help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I carried out a backup reset via the control panel which I still have access to but can not access the WP account.

  Thanks for quick response

  It looks like that site isn’t hosted here on WordPressdotcom so we won’t be able to help you.

  Help for self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software can be found over at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

  Standalone WP and WordPressdotcom (where we are) are different entities; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Best wishes
