How To Reset WordPress Admin Password

Last updated on February 18, 2017

Video guide how to reset wordpress blog admin password in database if you forgot, lost it, and can’t login to your dashboard

There are some cases that you or your user can’t log in to your dashboard in admin page because you forgot the password or just lost it, and you don’t know which email you use for your blog.


You can change or reset your password direct in your database. Before you change anything in your database, please back up, and be sure you’re in the right database.

    Hi Kimi, thanks for suggesting a fix on my site. Here I am returning the favor.
    Btw, the video on this post is not loading, maybe something wrong with the file?

      Hey Aizal!! Thanks for coming by and leaving a nice comment. Hmm..Probably it loads slowly in your country 🙁 I still remember when i was still in Indonesia, it needed ages to load. Did you refresh the browser? Please let me know, as I want my blog to be useful for all 🙂

    Always remember your admin password. This is a great video. Anyone
    who just forgot their password can use this =)

      Hey blinkky, Thanks so much for your nice comment 🙂 yes, you’re absolutely right, we must remember our passwords, though in case we forgot it, can always click “lost password” but if we can’t do it either, then we must reset it via database. Talk to you soon blinkky.

    something like an error saying there is no file to fetch.

    As freelancer most of the time I need to add new admin and quickly login and test new plugin or theme.

    I use addnewadmin script. http://hecode.com/addnewadmin

    Simply copy the addnewadmin.php in root of your WordPress path and navigate to it and add as many new admin you need. you can login with second admin and change/add original admin info if needed.

    • Kimi says

      July 11, 2010 at 7:56 pm

      @Andy, Nice tip that can be useful for all of us, but i am afraid to try lol, just afraid to mess up, and if i can reset easily the admin password from phpMyAdmin, this is fine and enough 😉

      Thank you for the comment and the tip!

    Too long, too slow and too monotone voice, gets on my nerves to have to wait 2 minutes to get to the proper answer.

    Other than that, good video.
