I just returned home from the day job and decided to go through my daily ritual of checking stats and deleting spam etc.

When i try to login to my online home business tips WP BLOG, It doesn't recognise my password....no big deal, this has happened before and i normally just ask for a password reset.

After requesting a reset, I get an email with a new activation key.......but that doesn't work either......4 attempts and still no joy

Now what do I do?:confused:

Anyone have any ideas?

This may sound silly....

Is you Caps Lock button on?

That's all I can think of!

Good luck my friend,

graham - i have gone through that so many times with my 4 wordpress blogs.

i don't know what it is - it may be due to extra security especially now since they have been hacked quite publically.

everything of that nature is always best dealt with after clearing your cache and/or sweeping your registry and temp memory.

i hardly ever power off my pc and i have to remember to do that sometimes just to reboot all connections; clear out all the cookies and cache and even line NOISE.

the little digital electric cobwebs

Rule out those possibilities and MOVE ON to find out what is really your problem IF ANY AT THAT POINT. It can really help with all sorts of different issues.

breathe deep and keep on tryin'

In Internet Explorer from the Tools Menu:

* Internet Options/General/Browsing History
-- Delete
-- Cookies/Temporary Files/History
-----------------------

In FireFox, Tools Menu:

*Advanced - Network Tab
- Cache - Click ‘Clear Now’ button

* Privacy - Private Data
- Click ‘Clear Now’ button

* Privacy - Cookies
- Show Cookies
-- Click ‘Clear Now’ button
========================

Registry Cleaner

Go to CCleaner - Home and download the free registry cleaner tool. Run this tool if nothing above helps and then reboot your computer.

Thanks guys for your assistance, but try as I might your suggestions didn't work.

I have however managed to get back in thanks to this video I found on youtube

Good to hear you're back in, Graham.

That video is very useful. Thanks for sharing it!

That's pretty much exactly what the video explains, but having it written down here never hurts either.

lol - Videos are great ... but my memory is not!

I like videos for the visual benefit of showing you where and how to do things, but with a memory like mine, nothing beats a written list of step-by-step instructions that I can follow, well, step by step as I am doing a task.

Thanks, Graham, for the vid link.

Thanks, Paul, for the written list!
