Has my account been highjacked?

It may have been a hack or it may have simply been some minor database or file corruption.

I think I must have been freaking out for no reason.

For some reason I can only log into my website when I go though the link on the “Meta” widget or though a link I have bookmarked that is a specific login for my site only.

Is there a way that I can log into my site through the generic WordPress login?

I am having the same problem… I can log in to my www.ads-software.com page, but when I come on here and try to submit my username/password it says my password is incorrect and then is not sending the recovery password to my e-mail. I had to create a new log-in in order to come into this forum and ask this question. What in the world is going on that the password is correct when logging into my page, but not into the forums?

@andrewbal: go to mydomain.com/login.php

@tigeress66: The logins and passwords for your own wordpress site and these forums are absolutely unrelated to each other. There is no reason for them to be related. One login/password is your own self-hosted wordpress site, and the other is for these forums in support of WordPress software.

Problem is, even though that may be the case, my username to log into the forum exists, my password doesn’t work, and I’m not receiving the recover my password e-mail…. ?

I’m not receiving the recover my password e-mail…. ?

For your own WordPress site? See Resetting Your Password ? WordPress Codex

For the forums? Check your spam folder.

No not for my own site, for the forums.

Yes, I have already checked my spam folder. Not there.

You’re posting here, so you must be logged in. Logout and reset the password.

You must think I’m a real dope! Haha, I said before that I had to create a new username and password to post in this forum. My original username is not working. guess it doesn’t matter TOO much since I was able to create a new username, but it is definitely frustrating that my original one is inaccessible.

Well, sorry, but it is true you confused the difference between your own site and www.ads-software.com. Maybe you forgot the email address you registered under? Start a new thread asking a moderator to combine your two accounts.

Thanks to your help I discovered that I can log in by going to https://www.mydomain.com/wp-login.php
(you must have accidently forgot the “wp-” part.

Still can’t figure out why wordpress has me do this rather than go to some generic login.

Thanks for your help,
