How to Reset\/Recover your passwords"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you are a wordpress blog CMS user then its obvious that you would have forgotten your blog wp-admin logins. There are originally 2 ways to recover it.<\/p>\n

Option 1 : Request Password Reset
\nOption 2 : When option 1 does not work out you should go for this by resetting the password via phpmyadmin in your Hosting Cpanel Account.<\/p>\n

Steps to perform these options :<\/p>\n

Option 1 :<\/strong> Access your wp-admin page from where you can directly login to your blog’s dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"Wordpress<\/p>\n

Next if you are not able to login you will be shown with the login error page with a message like – “Please enter your username or e-mail address. You will receive a new password via e-mail.”<\/p>\n

You just need to remember either the Admin Username or else the email which is linked to the your Admin Account. Once you give these details you will recieve a email with reset password link.<\/p>\n

\"Wordpress<\/p>\n

Option 2 :<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PhpmyAdminLogin to your Hosting Cpanel Account and search for the ‘PhpMyAdmin’ option under the ‘Databases’ option and click on it.<\/p>\n

On the Left side of the window you will find many Tables and you need to find out the ‘wp_users’ table and click on it.<\/p>\n

\"Wp-Users<\/p>\n

On the right panel you need to click on the Browse Option, which lists the whole list of your wordpress blog’s users. You need to click on the edit link, which is represented in the form of a small pencil.<\/p>\n

\"Edit<\/p>\n

One the following page you will find all the different fields of the table ‘wp_users’ from which you need to change the function of ID – ‘user_pass’ from varchar(64) to MD5 and enter a new value which is going to be your new password.<\/p>\n

\"Change<\/p>\n

Thats it and the new MD5 value which you assign is your new wp-admin login password, the same way you can change your email address of your wp-admin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
