Change / Reset WordPress password using MySQL / PHPMyAdmin

[tarifa]

i needed to do a quick change / Reset of the WordPress password using MySQL / PHPMyAdmin

 

well  what happened: i have forgotten te password to login to the wordpress-page: 

 

so i need to do a reset of the Recover lost WordPress password from PHPMyAdmin / MySQL.

 

UPDATE `wp_users` SET `user_pass`= MD5('yourpassword') WHERE `user_login`='yourusername';

 

whereas i do the following i  put the new password in place of the term: yourpassword and furthermore i replace the term yourusername with the  current WordPress username.

 

that  worked well!
