Recently, I worked with a blog that needed direct database intervention and a password reset, so I decided to write this post to provide a guide on \"How to reset your WordPress admin password through phpMyAdmin<\/strong> on the hosting.'<\/p>\n

So, in any case, you still have access to the hosting with control panel<\/a> Your website (or websites) remains with you, and that's enough for us. Depending on which web hosting you are using, the type and appearance of the website management panel will vary, but each such panel contains an item called \"phpMyAdmin,\" so find that.\"\"<\/p>\n

phpMyAdmin may be hidden, for example, located under the subsection \"Database Management<\/strong>', so carefully browse the control panel and find this application. Once found, we proceed directly to phpMyAdmin. You will see something like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we have the ability to do everything we need with our databases, completely managing them. Now we need to find the database related to our blog. If you don't remember which database from the list (there can be several on the left side) is related to your resource, just check the wp-config.php file, where you wrote all this data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Find in this file the line:<\/p>\n

define('DB_NAME', 'Your DB Name')<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

And select this database in phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n

Click on this database and you will see the complete structure, all the tables that we can modify. Right now we are interested in the tablewp_users<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This table contains all users (if there are several) who have access to manage the blog. Here, we can change the password or remove a specific user\u2014click on wp_users, and the entire table content will open.
\nHere we need to edit the password. In the case of the blog I was working with, it was clear that besides the admin, another user was registered, and the owner told me that there should be only one user. It seems someone else was already there.
\nIn the table, we need to click the pencil icon 'Edit' next to the username and change the password.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will see the structure of this table, where we will find all the data related to this user. I won't go into detail about each line\u2014I will only explain how to reset the password.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Currently, the password is encrypted using the MD5 method, so in the corresponding row we see incomprehensible characters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To change password<\/strong> \u2014 we do the following: in the line user_pass<\/strong> we enter the new password in the password field, and in the field varchar (64)<\/strong> \u2014 we select the encryption method MD5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We make the changes and click the button \u201cNext<\/strong>\u201d at the very bottom and save the new password<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After saving all changes\u2014 the password you entered will again be in MD5, but it will be exactly as you need it. Now, you can easily log into the blog dashboard with the new password.<\/p>\n

Advice.<\/em> NEVER<\/strong> use simple usernames admin<\/strong> and simple passwords\u2014 this will protect you from the unpleasant consequences of your resource being hacked. Change your access data to something more complex and \"strange.\"<\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
