I have come up to the Wordpress login page, but usually managed to work around it by using 'build my website'. Today I made the mistake of trying to get into it, it would always

I have the same problem. It's pop-up with the insallation of this akismet plug-in, and then I realized that although I can manage my website through "build my website" link and WP, and obviously I have aWP account, I still don't know what is my username...

admin

No, it's not working. You can use admin to accss your website from here, but when you tru to install your akismet plug-in, a window with a username/password of WP pop-up, and the username "admin" is not acceptable (and I can understand why, but I think I have a different username that I don't know about yet, and this "admin" name is just for a fast access.)

You need to go to Askimet website and create an account first - then you can login there.

That's what I finally done. The point is that there is an option, BEFORE you make an akismet account, to make it with your WP username and password and "admin" is not acceptable.

Well, as long as you got there - not really sure what the deal was, but we win?

ahha..."COMSI-COMSA".
If we define win as reached ourgoal- so yes, I update my plug-in and it's working right now. If we define win as a better understanding of the system, and starting from the basic of "know what is your WP username" (and mostly because I don't know when I'll be going to need it, and I rather be prepared) so we still got to learn.
Thanks for your help, anyway :-)

Any time - catch up some time.

I always leave what is issued as it is a secure password.
Then use dashboard to enter and all good.
And as staed by Sherion - hit details.
Much easier

for now I think I agree with mrsljc - hit the WA support.
I do not think there is anyone in chat to sort this.

I tried google. Seems it is a çommon question, see comment below

They say there is no such thing as a stupid question. I have just proved them wrong. User name is. Drumroll. Admin

DAMN!!!!!!!!! I knew that too!
HEE-HAW!!

I don't know if this will work or not but go into "Websites & Hosting" then go the place by your website that says "details" This is what I always use as I have so many sites. Hope that works.

I've tried the admin and FTP username, neither work. :(

Did you change your username or just your password. Go through Build my Website and use the username you always had with your new password. See if that works.

Only changed my password your other suggestions not working either

You might have to send a message to WA's IT and get your password reset. Also try stating the problem in the live chat. There's a more captive audience there. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.
