Input a new password and generate its hash.

Then update password column in the user table through MySQL database with the new generated hash.

After that you can log in to the backend using the new password.

  • Open localhost/phpmyadmin
  • Open the database then table wp_users
  • Edit the corresponding row of user
  • Copy and keep the old password (for backup)
  • Edit field `user_pass' and type value
  • Change Type to MD5 and then update the row.

You can reset your password using database password field. goto your database users table. find password field. It can be seen as hash. Generate new hash using this generator, http://www.danstools.com/md5-hash-generator/ replace new hash.
