   THANK YOU!!
   I was caught up on the md5 encryption of the pw field. This really save my tail. I was using a member profile update which stripped all the email fields. This in turn also stripped mine and poof! Everyone’s password was deleted.
   Seriously.
   So, thank you a lot.

    Did this now Jetpack gives me this error :

    Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.
    Operation timed out after 15000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

    Any tips on this?

    I wish it worked for me……I followed the directions [easy] but when I went to put in the MD5 hash numbers, they were exactly the same as what was already in the field value. This tells me that my problem is then not entering my user name and password that is the problem, but something completely different. …..:(

    Thank you, but ..
    while I can now reset the password with the MD5 code, derived from the new password I created, say, „abc“ , and I finish and go back to my wordpress adimin signin:
    domain.org/wp-admin : username ; password

    for the password do I now use „abc“ ?

    • Thom Burlington

      Yes the password is „abc“ – very nice – between your post and the video you are very clear, thank you.

    Not quite correct. If you choose MD5 as the function in the drop down menu, and then type the password in plain text it hashes the value to an MD5 value.

    I’m the dunce from Mars who can’t speak computer. I’ll start with this:

    „The best place to look is your wp-config.php file which is located in your root WordPress Directory.“

    OK–where is it and how do I get there? I can’t log into my site because it will not any accept any password resets. I tried Chris’s phone method and got in on my phone, but not on my laptop. and when I tried to post something on the phone, I got a message that I should install the latest Jetpack, but I had to log into WordPress again, and guess what–„Invalid username.“

    Is any of you who found these instructions such a breeze willing to speak to me on the phone? I’m writing from my wit’s end. That’s where I am. I would so appreciate it! Cheers!

      wp-config.php file resides on your web server. You can login to your web hosting control panel, locate the file manager, and then locate wp-config.php file. Alternately, you can also edit it using an FTP client.

    A client’s developer passed away while on vacation of all things. You can only imagine what happened after that. Nobody knew anything of how their developer was doing things. Luckily I was able to locate where their databases were and got access to their PHPMyAdmin.

    Voila!!! I have both of their lost sites back up and running with access to the back-ends because of this post.

    Thank you!!!

    You say that Wordpress generates an MD5 encryption of your password? But I seem to remember seeing somewhere on Stackoverflow that this is no longer true. They said: „The WordPress password hasher implements the Portable PHP password hashing framework, which is used in Content Management Systems like WordPress and Drupal“.
    I know very little about encryption/decryption systems, but one thing does seem strange. In a Wordpress website database you can can see in the user table a field called ‚user-pass‘ with contents like ‚$P$BlBAsz6jcvS3rLGDiE81PwtwbEazKg1‘.
    All the hash values in this table begin with $P$B….. so what on earth is the point of including these leading 4 characters if they are all the same……?

    Or, if your admin account is the usual ID=1.

    Open functions.php and put this code in
    wp_set_password( „mypassword“, 1 );

    Reload the page.

    Uncomment code. Done.

    Thanks for the tip, I couldn’t quite remember. Here is a return tip for you:

    You don’t need the external MD5 tool. Look on the screenshot there is a „Function“ column with drop down boxes. On the user_pass field just select MD5 in the function column and type your new password in normal plain text in the input box next to it. When you save it phpMyAdmin will automatically md5 hash it for you.

    Thanks for this great tip. I tried the „easiest“ way above but couldn´t retrieve the automatic email because of some misterious server glitch.
    I don´t know beans of PhP, so this kind of article is very useful for us.

    I found the easiest and fastest work around the „Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid“ issue to reset your Wordpress password using your cell phone.
    1.) Just use your cell phone to access your password reset email that was sent to you.
    2.) Click on the link in the email. The link will automatically open the site where you can input your new password.
    3.) Follow the prompts to enter your new password.
    4.) Save your new password
    5.) You should now be able to access your WordPress website with your new password from any computer, business as usual.

    I hope this helps everybody!
