    Please send me some feedback on this topic. I forgot to record my password for my admin
    for my website. Now I cannot get in to edit my site. What do I do? I tried to re login on
    getting a new password and got nowhere, because I had the same profile address for
    my email which creates a word press errror! Help!

    I have access to MySQL, and check the pic here :

    Thanks any feedback to correct this
    or how to access or shortcut this troubleshooting problem is appreciated.

    Try below update query:

    UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = MD5(‘demo’) WHERE ID = 1;

    Your password will be reset with “demo”

    Hi @akuikurizqi,

    If you have access of cpanel and password of any other user on your site then open your phpMyAdmin in C-Panel, select the database and navigate to wp_users table. Now copy the hash code available under user_pass field of that user for which you have the password and paste it in the same field for the admin. Now the password for admin will be replaced with the password of that user and you will be able to login on site as admin with this password.
