    How to Reset a WordPress Password from phpMyAdmin

    Knowing how to reset your WordPress password from phpMyAdmin is one of the essential things you should know about because for some reason if your site is hacked, or something else, you are no longer able to login to your admin panel using the login information, and you are not able to reset the password via email, this method can be very useful. We have helped three users with the same issue therefore we have decided to do this writeup.

    Every WordPress blog uses a MySQL Database which can be accessed through your phpMyAdmin even if you are not using cPanel hosting. Follow the following steps to reset your WordPress password:

    Step 1 – Identify the Name of your Database

    It is always good to know the name of your WordPress Database. Sometimes you might be running multiple installations within the same database, then you will need to know exactly where to look for to reset the password. The best place to look is your wp-config.php file which is located in your root WordPress Directory. In there you will find the name of your database.

    Step 2 – Locating Database and Editing the Fields

    In your cPanel or other admin panel, you will need to access your MySQL database and then browse it via phpMyAdmin.

    Once you are in phpMyAdmin, you will need to select the correct database on the left hand side. Look for the name that you found in your wp-config.php and click on that. You will see a list of tables with a prefix wp_ for the most part.

    If you changed your prefix during installation, then you would be looking for that specific prefix “for ex: wp673_”.

    You will look for the table wp_users, click on it and then click on the Browse Tab.

    Click on the Pencil (Edit) Icon to reset your Password.

    phpMyAdmin Edit

    Now you will see a field that looks like this:

    phpMyAdmin Edit field

    Edit the user_pass field value. You will notice that there are a lot of random characters in the password field. Due to security reasons, WordPress stores the passwords as MD5 Hash rather than Plain text.

    This means that you will not be able to enter plain text as the password. You would need to use one of the MD5 generators online to generate your password.

    Recommended Tool: JavaScript MD5

    Simply type your password in that tool and generate MD5 results. Copy and paste the code you get from the converter into your phpMyAdmin field and click Go to save changes.

    You have now successfully changed your WordPress Password from phpMyAdmin.

    Read receipts are an interesting feature in mail programs, but it is a feature that is not standardized. Many popular email clients block them, and a lot of the email programs that exist for Mac OS X don’t include them at all, or are complicated to implement. But they do have their uses, so some people still choose to include them with messages that they send from their computer. However, that does not mean that you need to comply with their request. A read receipt is just that – a request from the sender to notify them when you have opened their message. If you are becoming annoyed with receiving these read receipts in Outlook 2013 and no longer want to send read receipts or even be notified that they have been requested, you can turn off read receipts in Outlook 2013.
