This tutorial is used when the Admin account of your WordPress forgets its password, or the email entered is wrong, making it impossible to reset the password. Therefore, one way is to reset the password through PHPMyAdmin.
- Login to your hosting panel (cPanel / Plesk)
- Go to phpmnyadmin.r
- Check wp-config.php and see what database WordPress uses.
- Browse to table wp_users.
- Edit the user_pass field. Change it to MD5 and enter a new simple password. Example below.
- If so, click Go.
- Now login to your WordPress using the newly set password. And don't forget to change it to something more complex. Use letters, numbers, and a mix of symbols.
