PhpMyAdmin : Change forgotten wordpress password directly into mysql table

This video contains a tutorial on how to change forgotten wordpress password directly into mysql table via PhpMyAdmin.

First step is to login to our cpanel and point to databases tab then go to PhpMyAdmin. There we select our wordpress database and choose wp_users table. We’ll find an edit entry button, and click it!

Now we go to www.webhostingplay.com/wp-password/ and generate our md5() php encrypted password.

After we have it, we go back to phpmyadmin and we paste the hash under user password field and click update/save.

Done!
