Can't Log In Or Reset My Password

  • When I try to log into the admin section of my website, I am told that my password is incorrect (which it isn’t). When I try to reset the password, I never receive an email from WordPress allowing me to do so. How can I log in?

  • If you have access to the database you can actually change your password by editing the user_pass field in the wp_users table (‘wp_’ is the default prefix for table names, but don’t worry if it’s different for you) for the user you want to change.

    What you’ll want to do is use a MD5 generator, to take the password you want to use and generate a hash that you can put into your database.

    If you use phpMyAdmin there is video showing how to do it step-by-step here
