Forum Username and site username problem

Post by RSwinson » Sun May 31, 2015 10:29 pm

Hi
Since I have registered on this forum I cannot access my website. I have picked the same username for both . Was this a mistake? Can I change the username for the forum?
I have tried to log into the backend of the website using another superuser name and this does not work either.
Thanks for your help.
Robert

The forum's username has no relevance to your site's username. In fact, the forum has no relevance to your site at all - they are totally independent entities.

The problem may be that the passwords are wrong.

For accessing your site, you could reset the password or create a new user that has Superuser privileges. Review of the document https://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_reco ... assword%3F would be of help.
