The WordPress admin password can be reset from the WordPress database. The WordPress database can be easily accessed through the phpMyAdmin tool available with your web hosting account.
Once you are in phpMyAdminSelect the WordPress database folder from the left navigation bar. The page will refresh, and the WordPress database's tables will be displayed on it. Open the SQL tab (look at the top navigation bar).
In the text field, write the following SQL query:
UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = MD5( ‘new_password_here’ ) WHERE wp_usersuser_login = “admin_username”“new_password_here” Enter the new password you wish to use for your WordPress login.
“admin_username” and replace this with the username for which the password should be updated.
Once you enter the new password and the correct username, click on the GO button to submit the query. If the query is executed correctly and no errors are displayed, then you should be able to log in with the new password.
