Wordpress is using MD5 hash as stored password. If you lost your password, you can reset password hrough login page. But, if that cannot be accessed, you can use PHPmyAdmin or MySQL command line. But you need MD5 Hasher to update your password.
- Login to your PHPmyAdmin, Select your wordpress Database
- Find wp_users (i assume that you use wp_ as table structure)
- Find your username
- Click Edit
- Fill the password with MD5 code from MD5 hasher.
That’s all folks, sorry, no screenshot.

I usually take a copy of my localhost password (on table wp_users (user_pass)) when I forgot my wp-admin password. No MD5 seeding makes it easier to break into
Simply copy the string and paste.
No MD5 hasher needed. Just try it.

Interesting point! I didn’t ever think about it.
