If you cannot log in to WordPress and cannot receive the password reset email, you can reset your password directly in the database using phpMyAdmin in cPanel.

Step 1 — Open phpMyAdmin

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Under Databases, click phpMyAdmin.

Step 2 — Find your WordPress database

1. In the left sidebar, click on your WordPress database name. If you are unsure which database WordPress uses, check the DB_NAME value in your wp-config.php file.
2. Click on the wp_users table (the prefix may differ, e.g. mywp_users).

Step 3 — Edit the admin user

1. Find the row for your admin account and click Edit.
2. Find the user_pass field.
3. In the Function dropdown next to user_pass, select MD5.
4. In the Value field, type your new password.
5. Click Go to save.

Step 4 — Log in to WordPress

Go to https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log in with your username and the new password you just set.

Important: After logging in, go to Users → Profile and update your password there as well. This ensures WordPress hashes the password in its own secure format.
