log in- won’t use my username password

  • I have a site up, but am not able to get into the wp-admin end of the site, because it won’t use the username + password I assigned to it. How can I find out how to get my password that works?

  • 1. Change your wp-config.php file and try again.
    2. You can get into the database and change the password manually. This is how:
    1. Login to your PhpMyAdmin account, and select your WordPress database.
    2. Select & browse wp_users table, look for the username, you want to reset the password and click on the edit icon next to your username.
    3. Once the edit page is open, select MD5 from the Function dropdown next to the user_pass row. Change the value on the user_pass row to your new password and then hit Go.
    4. Now fireup your WordPress admin panel, and login with your new password and it will upgrade your password to the new phpass hashing.
