    Hi,

    If You do not have valid login and password, there is not much You can do without access to files and/or database.

    If someone else can access admin panel, You could ask her/him to reset password and check username.

    If You have access to database, You can replace password string with one from another instalation of WordPress, where You do have valid login and password.

    If You have access to files, You can get credentials to database and follow previous step.

    Hope that helps at least a little bit.

    Give this a read. I know you say you do not need a new password but the fact is you need to get access to your site and resetting the password on an existing account in the way to do that.

    It is a bit technical but it also provides you with methods for resetting your account password on your own site when you are locked out. Those methods do not require access to your WordPress dashboard.

    Hi,
    I’d like to change my username in my admin. How can I do that?
