Reset Wordpress Admin Password

After a very long pause, I decided to revisit this blog and thought of using it just to make me remember stuff. Today, I want to remember how to reset the admin password of Wordpress. There are couple of ways to do it but the fastest for me would be through phpmyadmin.




  1. Log in to your webhost, go to phpmyadmin, then select the database you wish to hack. 
  2. Find the table "wp_user"
  3. Select the user you wish to edit then click "edit"
  4. Change the field under "user_pass". Just use normal letter and number but they're case sensitive
  5. Then select MD5 under the "function" column
  6. Lastly, click "Go" below the page

That's all there is to it.
