I tried to login but was told I was using the wrong password. When I click forgot password was told user name didn't exist. When I tried to register was told my user name already existed. Well which is it? I had to create a new user name. Your login in stinks. Shouldn't be this hard.

@Condobloke I think he means the login to the forums, not his Linux system.
I assume you mean the web site login ? @wizardfromoz @KGIII @Rob - No site admin types are online right now so I tagged a couple so when they come on line they will get a notification and will take a look I am sure

In the meantime, open linux.org, ....then click on members
On the left hand side you will see a "find member' box...... type your ORIGINAL user name in there....when/if it comes up .....right click and copy the url address up in the address bar. Paste it here
if your original username does not appear then the registration process has come unhinged somewhere, which is unusual !....and sadly you will need to wait for one of the mods/Admin to interceded and fix the rotten thing.
In the meantime you can log in with your current username and take a look around, and see how many more blunders I can pull out of the hat this morning.

@Caluser2000 ....no need for caps....shouting...
Agreed - @Caluser2000 - the Member had to create a new userid, that worked, and that is why he is logged in now.

Ok, I was trying to Login to the Linux.org web site. There was my issue. I did as suggested and found my original user name. I copied and pasted in a new tab and am logged in I think. Thanks for all the help. That's what I love about Linux that everyone is willing to help. Have been a dedicated user for 3 years. Love love love Linux.

I would suggest password manager:
Generate login/password in password manager, apply these credentials to the forum where you want to be a member and at least typos are out of your way.
Otherwise, I would assume typos. If problem persists, then the next thing is your browser.
If you have this kind of issues, unfortunately you should "blame" yourself.

I am using password manager Bitwarden.
