    I tried to retrieve password, and even though the message said that a link will be sent to my email, I waited for several hours, even sent more than 20 requests, however, I didn’t receive any emails regarding password reset. I’m now stucked and need to log in to my wp admin immediately. Appreciate if anyone can help!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Did you check your spam folder? Did you properly set the email configuration? Is it local or live site?

    @nesiacweb it is possible that even though your website is sending the email that would allow you to reset your password, it may not be making it to your inbox.

    The short answer

    Try disabling WordFence plugin through FTP. (Wordfence is throwing up that huge message about account being blocked and all that).

    The long answer

    Email is tricky when being sent directly from a website server.

    For example, I’ve had issues where the website is sending the emails, but my Gmail account never received it. Not in spam, not in inbox, it never made it to my account. This is due to Gmail server rejecting it because of the way the website prepared and sent it.

    There are a number of reasons that this happens, but it’s not uncommon.

    My recommendation would be to disable Wordfence for now and try to log in and use the default ‘lost password’ link that will show up.

    Worst case, you can try to reset your password manually through MYSQL. (you may need to request assistance for this).
