Hello,
First of all, I am dutch, so my english isn't perfect, sorry for that.
I have a problem. First i have to explain how i've got to this point. I want my own webshop so i have to make a website. At first i used a program that didn't do it for me, so my brother in law offered to help. He is still learning but he works for a hosting company and his boss wanted him to learn wordpress 3.9.1. So they said they would help me make my webshop. (helping in the way of making their software available.) They bought a theme for me (theme: Total) and they explained how wordpress works. So a month ago i started making my website and everything went well untill...
Monday i decided that it was time to buy a hosting pakkage with hosting2go.nl. There was a manual that i scrictly followed. The manual said that i had to download the latest version of wordpress, so i did. Then it said i had to upload it to my FTP (filezilla), it said i needed to upload the complete map (after editing the wp-config-sample to a wp-config with the right valuables) to /httpdocs, so i did this also. after this the manual said i needed to go to mydomain.com/wordpress to register with a websitetitle, username and password, after i completed everything i logged in and it worked, i've got the same software as my brother in laws company worked with so i was happy.
Now comes the part were it becomes to difficult for me. A co-worker of my brother in law, who had more knowlegde about wordpress send me an email with the complete website in a map called dump_'here a couple of numbers' and he also typed an instruction how to upload or import my (allready made) website. He said when i installed wordpress and was logged in i had to instal a new plugin called 'all-in-one migration'. I installed and activeted it, like he said. then he said i needed to go to the menu and look for "site migrate", i found it in the menu and i clicked on import, like he said. I just needed to put the complete map in the import screen, so i did. It took a minute or 2 to upload it 100%. After the upload i went to take a look on the site and everything worked and was there. Then i went back to wordpress and i saw that the username was (Redacted) instead of (Redacted). So i logged out and when i wanted to log back in, it didn't work. I tried it numerous times and after the last try i thought, maybe i need to log in with the account of my brother in law... so i did.. and Ofcourse, i was logged in.
Every time i try to log in with my own account it says that he can't log in because it is the wrong username or password. I want to work further on my site on my own account, but i just don't know what i can do to log in... it just doesn't accept the name and password like it did the first couple of times (before i imported the website this co-workerd send me). I have tried so many things i could think of... but nothing worked. How do i resolve this? Does anybody knows? Please help, i am getting crazy !!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and hopefully reply with an answer! Thanks Thanks Thanks!
