I am trying to set up an account with Gravatar. In the password space they say to use lower case letters and numbers. I do exactly that and I keep getting the same message in

How do I get gravatar to accept my choice of password?
I am trying to set up an account with Gravatar. In the password space they say to use lower case letters and numbers. I do exactly that and I keep getting the same message in
This may be part of the problem, Loes, but I think I may have a "user" problem as well. Let me describe how I may have messed things up.
I set up a user account and I did not like the icon I chose, which POPPED in there all by itself! I don't know how that happened since I cannot make it happen for the second account. Anyway, I could not change the icon to what I wanted, so I decided to not finish setting up this account. I had not filled in any of the other parts of the form except the email. The user names all said "admin". I changed the role to "no role on this site" and updated. I figured this account was then disabled. Am I right?
Then I set up a second user account with my name Elinor Mavor and the role as "administrator", added the bio and a new email address (one less used than the previous one and I figured would be better because of that) and then I was told to sign in to Gravatar to upload my photo as the icon.
Gravatar will not accept my password.
In addition, I had tried to sign in to Gravatar several times, and they kept asking me to change my password. I did so several times. It now is set and will sign me in to my website. However, I finally I got an email sent to my new email address, giving me a specific link to reset my password, I did so, and was IMMEDIATELY BOOTED over to my website. I NEVER EVER RECEIVED A NOTE ABOUT THEM SENDING ME A CONFIRMATION. And I never did get a confirmation.
So, I guess, my question is HOW DO I GET A CONFIRMATION for my new password?
Thanks so much Loes, for any suggestions you can give me with this.

Ooooops! I just tried to sign into Wordpress.com and they did not like my password. So I am still at square 1. Can I just start over???
No your WordPress password for the Wordpress website is a password made up by yourself, unless you mean to login to your website by the form from WordPress, then it is the same

I want to use a wordpress theme I bought instead of one of the free ones. How do I upload and install this theme? I am just building my website now. Thank you!
On your dashboard go to Appearance, then select themes, then select Add New, Click on the tab that says upload theme, then click on Choose file, and click on install now.
Great to meet you, Mimi-CU! I am following you now. You have an interesting background which should insure your success. I will be watching and reading what you have to say as you head that way.
I feel like you are an old friend, PJ. You have solved many issues for me with your blogs. I have saved them to a file of my best WA advisers. Thank you again! I should have gone back to the tutorial, but popped the question before it occurred to me I missed something.
Hi Pio! I have watched your progress here and am very impressed! I also have noticed how often you help people (and all of us) by answering questions. You continue to go Gangbusters! Thanks for being such a wonderful presence here on WA!
Where you normally search for a new theme to add, there you click on the button: install zip file.
You select the zip file click ok ande from there it is the same procedure as before...
Grtz,
Bert

Is my wordpress password the same as the password for my website?
No your WordPress password for the Wordpress website is a password made up by yourself, unless you mean to login to your website by the form from WordPress, then it is the same
