I know password, but forgot "username"!
Try admin?
Tried, nothing
Hello,
Maybe you could connect to plesk database and read plesk users table ?
How ? I tried everything , almost
admin or administrator is usually the plesk basic username. If you've got full control over it and not a shared server. You can always ask your provider to reset it if you have some support from them.
use root and your root password
Tried, I've installed manually cp because in this vps no cp included in price.
Error: You have entered incorrect username or password.
I have the correct password
You can always use the root user/pass to login to plesk...
Edit: I see that someone already answered this.
@Oldky have a look at this page http://www.freetutorialssubmit.com/list-all-databases-and-users-from-plesk-mysql/1418
as @Ikoula said, do a search in your mysql database. you probably have done (or could do) setup a phpmyadmin on your server to gain root access to mysql and have a look.
if 'admin' does not work maybe try Admin or Administrator (capitalized A), if I remember correctly this has been case sensitive with plesk.
have you checked the passwort like @nomad suggested? only believing to 'know' while unable to login isn't reliable.
do you even remember to have been able / to have the login changed at some point?
just login into plesk panel as root, with root user and root passwd. Then check users in Plesk.
edit: someone already told it:)
I will if i could, I already told it

Can't you login as root? What about ssh keys?
I have acces to ssh
as root?
Yes
and it gives you an invalid password or username attempt if you try to login with root and password to plesk? (forgive me, I'm trying to understand)
Exactly
There's no need to apologize. I thank for their efforts to help me
@geekoine afair plesk does not make use of the root credentials nor gives the ability to work around that way.
I don't really remember if it was even possible to change the admin login name.
If I had to make a bet, I'd go for a wrong password, as this is the simpliest possible explanation.
maybe OP changed it within plesk to something which has been messed up regarding special chars and/or length etc.
that is why IMHO he should first make definitely sure the password he is trying is the right one by checking like told above or simply setting a new (easy) one... but he hasn't answered the question yet, which way he KNOWs (aka checked up on ) his password so far ;-)
so you can probably check plesk access log, or even run the plesk command line utilities and set up a fresh administrator account

Thanks dude, i found solution. I reinstalled PLesk.
Thank you all!
just for the record: while reinstalling, has there been an option to choose the admin login name and if so, did you change it (again) this time?
Yes , absolutely NO! I have learned enough form this mistake!
