  I use a password generator but am locked out of my admin panel. Suspicious. Then, after a request to reset my password, the email that comes says the request is from username ‘bacotgoblok’ which is most definitely not me.

  How can I get in? I don’t want to inadvertently give someone access to the admin panel.

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