With the BFCM sales on in the last few days I excitedly purchased a Vultr VPS via Cloudways and I've been blown away with the speed

In more annoying news, when I migrated my third site over to CW it dawned on me that I never used an admin login and password to access the site, I always accessed that site directly from Dreamhost's control panel. The result of that is that I am locked out of that site

I tried the forgot password function with all of my email addresses to no avail? The only solution I can think of too get back inside is to migrate the site back to DH and re-enter via their control panel

Does anyone have a better idea?
But wait ! There's more !
I just purchased a new domain and wish to park it with just a static image only for the time being but Wordpress has annoying writing across my page that I cannot seem to remove. It's just stuff like " Ready to publish your first post ? Get started here" etc
Does anyone know how to delete all the writing that WP has left all over my image? Or should I maybe delete WP from that site and find another way to put up the image?
Thanks

You can just reset the password from terminal, as for parking the domain, deploy the static image to a github repo and host in on Cloudflare Pages then point your domain to that page

Thanks for the reply. It prompted me to do something I've never done before - take a look at the SQL database

Inside WP_xxxx4_users I found my username and password, though the PW was a jumbled 20ish character string that I've never seen before. I tried entering that to no avail

Also saw the email address linked to the account and it was one of the ones I tried with the forgot password link

Looking more closely at the site it appears there's aof content that's evaporated into digital dust, so something appears to have gone wrong in the migration
I'll keep having a poke around and see what else I can find

Thanks again for the info

I strongly suggest to get in touch with your hosting provider tech support. Some of those issues are not related to WordPress per se. They should be able to help you with that

Dreamhost who are now only holding my domains? Or Cloudways who are merely providing a VPS platform?
