    your server (host) might be down for some reason? See if you can log in to your cpanel or what ever you have.

    Your wordpress login is different from cPanel login. Try the forgotten password link in Wordpress. It's at yourblog.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    You will receive a new password via e-mail.

    Your FTP log in is not the same as your wp-admin, or c-panel.
    If you don't know what it is, just ask your host for it.

    I think you can create a new ftp account in CPanel and configure that..... BTW which hosting service u are using.
    Dont they have SimpleScripts that can update your WP with just a click.

    If you have forgotten WP admin password then u can download the config files and get it from there. :)
