Closing this thread.

If I have a single email but more than one account -- and I request a change of password -- which account will I be updating?

The account name is one of three names -- either way the email would be the same. I used to have a family blog (which is probably the reason for the second account), but this blog/account has always been for my business.

Might it be possible that the other account has been registered by someone else within the company/family? You might want to check that.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[email redacted]

I signed in happily using my email for years and then something happened on log in after the new year. I was asked for the account and passowrd and kept getting it wrong.

I already reset the password twice. I don't even know why I have two accounts. I know I only have one email.

If you don't have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password over here.

Please follow the instructions carefully. You'll receive two separate emails during the reset process, so make sure you read them both. If you don't receive the emails right away, check your spam folders as well. The confirmation emails can get caught in them sometimes :)

No change. I've tried three different computers, two different browsers, cleared the cache, cleared the cookies, refreshed the page …

No matter what I do, when I log in I no longer have access to the Dashboard or the ability to make new posts on my blog. See above.

It doesn't appear to think this is my blog or that I'm the site administrator.

@athleteagogo I've just replied to you by e-mail.

There aren't very many who have this issue posting here at all any more. I wish we could track down what they have in common, assuming that it's the same cause in all cases, but so far there have been multiple causes.

When visiting one of your own blogs, the Blog Menu provides you with nifty shortcuts for managing your blog’s content, such as taking you straight to your Comments, Customizer, and Widget pages.

If you’re browsing a WordPress.com site that you do not own, you will only see the bottom portion of text (shown in a gray-ish hue above).

For some reason WordPress doesn't think I own my blog and I'm no longer able to post new content. This is bad!

I need help or my blog is dead.

Nothing has changed but my computer's hard drive was swapped out. Why doesn't WordPress recognize me?

It is related to your email address, if I'm remembering correctly. I'll flag this for staff help.

Nothing has changed except my laptop got a new hard drive. I tried Chrome and Safari too and the WP interface after signing in appears the same on all of them.

On the menu bar, from left, the WordPress "W" under which the choices are Reader, Notifications, Create a Blog, Freshly Pressed, and Settings.

Next to that, think + do, which is where I used to be able to access the dashboard and post new content. Now I only have Shortlink, Random Post, Theme, and Report this Content.

It almost seems like WordPress doesn't believe I'm an approved administrator for the site, when in fact I'm the only administrator.

On the right side of the screen, there is an icon to view all notifications, a long screen name I've never seen before "akismet-f1ed11a6b498…" under which I can Find Friends, Create a Blog, Help, or Sign Out.

And on the extreme right there is an icon for Search.
