Unable to login as Admin

    Newbie here. About a month ago I developed my first site using theme Twenty-Fifteen and established two roles: Admin and Editor. I successfully worked as Editor for the next day or two and could see both roles identified in Dashboard. Unfortunately, my work was interrupted when I was hospitalized for a lengthy period of time and I am now trying to pick up where I left off. Except…..now I am only able to login as Editor. My Admin login (as recorded in both my handwritten notes and my “secure” password app) no longer works and I have no way (that I know of) to fix it.

    I have all site content offline and could start from scratch, but wonder if there is something I am not remembering or exploring. Can anyone recommend a path to a quick solution?

    I am using WP 4.9.5 on OS X Sierra 10.12.6. Also, I have a Time Machine backup available, but cannot really load it as there are other work iterations that I cannot give up.

    Thanks in advance.

    Steve, I want to give you a shout out for your prompt assist. I was able to use phpMyAdmin to solve my problem. Given the first two options were not possible and the MySQL looked intimidating, it was easiest for this neophyte. The tables and menus were a tad different in appearance, but I was able to find what I needed based on the instructions perfectly. I reset the password and am back in business.

    My gratitude
    Alan
