WordPress

I know the admin password, and simply want to change it.

Simply login to your admin panel (for WordPress, it is https://domain.com/wp-admin) and go to the Users link. Here you can change your admin password, display name, and email.

I forgot my password and need it reset.

Simply visit the login page for your admin panel, and click the "Lost your password?" link. This will send you an email with a link to reset your password.

My WordPress admin login username/password does not work. Also, I don't get the reminder email it sends out.

Here's how to change your password in the databse, using phpMyAdmin.

1. Login to cPanel and click the phpMyAdmin icon.
   (In the X theme, you must go to MySQL Databases and scroll to the very bottom to find the link.)
   
2. From the left hand list, select the correct database associated with your script. (You may need to check the wp-config.php file in the install directory. It will have the correct name.)
   
3. In the new left hand menu, click wp_users.
   
4. At the top of the main area, click the Browse tab.
   
5. One of the first entries should show your admin username, email, and an encrypted password. Click the Edit icon for that row.
   
6. Now you see all the details associated with that user. Across from the 'user_pass' is your encoded password. Delete that long string of characters.
   
7. Now type in the password you want to use. Just type it in normally, but remember, it is case-sensitive.
   
8. Next, click the drop-down menu immediately left of the new password, and select MD5.
   
9. Click the Go button to the bottom right.
10. Now go back to your script's login screen, and use the new password.
