I use webhosting through yahoo and got a wordpress blog to go with it. I've done two blogs.. basically my intro blog and one about must have office equipment. Last night I go into my blog to type another one.. (I'm trying for at least one every two days).. and BAM.. it asks me for a username and password.. I don't remember making one So I click to recover my password thinking maybe that will job my memory on my username... and it asks me for my username to retrieve my password... So now.. I can't blog because I can't find a place to retrieve my username Can anyone help me with this??

Thanks,

Shannon

Did you get the Wordpress blog through Yahoo or through Wordpress? If it was through Yahoo, you may just have to enter your Yahoo username and password.

Hmmm, not sure which version of WP you're on, but here's some info from the WordPress help section:

"Through the automatic emailer - If you know your username and the email account in your profile, you can use the "lost password" feature of Wordpress.

• Go to your Wordpress Login page (something like http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php)
• Click on lost password
• You will be taken to a page to put in some details. Enter your user name and the email address on file for that account.
• Wait happily as your new password is emailed to you.
• Once you get your new password, login and change it to something you can remember on your profile page. "

Or, if you need their emergency password reset script scroll all the way down this page and follow the instructions.

thanks so much for the advice, I got it through yahoo, but my yahoo id didn't work nor did my business website information.. I have no idea what happened! I'm working on it though

Shannon,

Is there a place in your Yahoo! control panel that's strictly for Wordpress? They could possibly have your username listed there. I know sometimes these "automatic Wordpress installations" will leave you with a random username and strange password. My webhost does this. Check that out and let us know what you find!
