I can’t login to my website

Occasionally you get stuck and can’t login to your website. Here’s what to do.

Reset your password

Start by visiting the login screen of your website e.g.

yoursite.com/wp-admin/

From the login screen, click the “Lost your password?” link and follow the instructions to reset your password.

Delete your browser cookies

If you have reset your password but are still not able to login, try deleting your browser cookies. You can do this by quitting your browser completely. Now try to login again.

If the step above didn’t work, you’ll need to delete your browser cookies manually.
