Now I’ll write how to recover and change your wordpress administrator (wp-admin) password when you lost or forget the password, most people will cahange wp-admin password from dasboard (wp-admin panel), but how about you can’t login to wp-admin panel because you lost the password, the second you can change wp-admin password from phpMyadmin, with condition you have cPanel password, this is the way that i use to recover my wp-admin password.
here is the step:
- Login to cPanel,
- open phpMyadmin,
- select used database, if there are some data base make sure you chose the correct database to ensure you can see wp-config.php in root of directory installed wordpress from filemanager on cPanel
after select the correct database, browse wp_users table from table list, and you will see the field
than edit the field row by click pencil
row user_login is your username
row user_pass is your password
- Now you can change or recover your wp-admin password, to remember after you type new password select the function to MD5 ( on dropdown list)
- Execute by click GO !
Now try to login to wp-admin with new username and password, congratz.. you get back your password.

BRAVOS! Thank you very much, you saved me
when running a business, the first thing you should do is always establish a good customer service..;
if you are going to get a VPS server make sure that it has cPanel coz it makes server maintennance easier.~,-
customer service should be put first with any kind of business~-’
when we are looking at stores or companies, we are always looking for top customer service;.-
both cPanel and DirectAdmin are great tools for managing hosting accounts and vps servers :
some stores have really bad customer service while others have topnotch custmer service ‘::
