    Hi DizzyDi,

    I don’t know where you installed your WordPress. As my experience, I run my WordPress on a server which uses cPanel. And it is very confusing because when you quickinstall WordPress, the default username you set up is not administrator. That’s why you can’t access the Dashboard.

    The simplest solution I learned is:
    1. Install a WordPress on your local machine.
    2. Go to its database at localhost/phpmyadmin.
    3. Export wp_usermeta and wp_users from your local machine.
    4. Override wp_usermeta and wp_users on your remote server with the two you get from your local machine.
    5. Log in with the username and password.

    Now the username you use is the administrator and you can access the Dashboard.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Hudson,

    Thanks for your reply. I’ll try using the plugin when I upload the website to the remote server. Thanks!
