Can't Log-in Issue - Password Reset Issue

    @Staff

    This is timethief. I need Staff help. I had to create a new account in order to log in here as I have lost the ability to log-in to both of my accounts under the following usernames.

    1. On September 4th I went to log-in to my blog at http://thistimethisspace.com (the underlying .wordpress.com blog URL is http://onekoolblog.wordpress.com/) and my password was refused. I tried several times and could not log-in.

    Rather than immediately requesting a password reset I chose to login to the same blog where "timethief" is also an Admin of the blog and I had no trouble doing so.

    I then logged out, cleared my browser cache and cookies (Firefox 15) and I rebooted my computer and tried to log-in to the same blog under my thistimethissspace username account and again my password was refused so I used the lost password function.

    I took a close look at the email received for resetting my password and as have no connection of any kind whatsoever to the "sports journalism" blog I did not carry through with the password reset. Instead I sent an email to support [at] wordpress [dot] com requesting assistance. I have not received any acknowledgment that the email was received.

    Today September 6th I found I could not log into my timethief account or my this thistimethisspace account, which have separate and different email addresses and all I can do is post here begging for Staff help under this third username account, which I had to create so I could post to this forum.

    This is crazymaking. Please assist me with sorting this out.

    I'm afraid to log out as I may not be able to log-in under this username again and will have to create yet another one. :(

    After seeing this i thought i'd mention, i went to log in to my blog yesterday and i happened to notice it said i was logging into 'sports journalism' in the browser bar. I didn't log in, i had the sense to go back, clear browser and start again. But, what is that 'sports journalism'? Is it an error with WP, or is it a hacker?

    Bad news! I logged out as timethief after changing the password macmanx sent me and setting a new password and now I can't log-in as timethief.

    Now I need Staff help again. :(

    thegiddygoat — Sorry for the inconvenience. We're looking into this.

    thistimethisspace — I'm really sorry about that. I'll send you another email right now with a new password (in the same email subject previously from macmanx).

    @bryanvillarin I changed my password...just in case i'd logged in previously without noticing it before. I wouldn't have thought much of it till timethief mentioned that same name here, and it seemed odd being as what has now happened to her. Cheers

    Thanks. I'm able to log-in again.
    This has made me really nervous. My stomach feels sick.

    By any chance, do you remember the URL for this "sports journalism" blog, or was it mentioned in name only?
