Hello, I cant login to my site.

[redacting private details]

I gave my login to a developer to help me and we had a disagreement so I think he changed my password.

Hi @ceedatrooth, I’m sorry to hear that! Also, you just posted login details in a public forum. :( I removed them.

Here’s what I recommend:

– Ask your host to restore a backup if needed (I don’t know what your site is, but I can tell it isn’t hosted here because of the username you shared)

– Change your login and password immediately. Your host can likely help if needed:

– Going forward, you’ll also want to use the correct forums for self-managed installations, at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

Or, you’d be welcome to migrate your site to our services. We take care of security and maintenance for you, though you would still be required to keep your own login credentials safe. If that’s something you’d like to do, here’s our pricing: https://wordpress.com/pricing
