La reimposta della password di WordPress è di solito un processo semplice. Tuttavia, a volte i metodi standard non funzionano, lasciandovi bloccati fuori dal vostro sito web.
Alcuni dei nostri lettori hanno riscontrato questo problema e ci hanno chiesto un consiglio su quale sia il modo migliore per accedere ai loro account. Fortunatamente, potete sempre utilizzare lo strumento phpMyAdmin nel pannello di controllo del vostro account di hosting per reimpostare la password direttamente dal database di WordPress.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come reimpostare facilmente la password di WordPress da phpMyAdmin. Spiegheremo ogni passaggio in modo chiaro, assicurandoci che anche chi non ha familiarità con i database possa seguirlo con sicurezza.
Perché resettare la password di WordPress da phpMyAdmin?
WordPress rende super facile il recupero di una password persa.
È sufficiente andare alla schermata di accesso del vostro sito web WordPress e cliccare sul link “Hai perso la password?”.
Facendo clic sul link si accede alla pagina di reimpostazione della password. Una volta inserito il nome utente o l’indirizzo e-mail, WordPress invierà un link per la reimpostazione della password all’indirizzo e-mail associato.
Tuttavia, se non avete accesso a quell’indirizzo e-mail o se il vostro sito WordPress non riesce a inviare un’e-mail, non sarete in grado di reimpostare la password.
In questa situazione, è necessario reimpostare la password di WordPress direttamente nel database. Il modo più semplice per farlo è usare phpMyAdmin.
Detto questo, vediamo come resettare facilmente una password di WordPress da phpMyAdmin.
Come resettare la password di WordPress da phpMyAdmin
Se non volete guardare il tutorial video, potete continuare a leggere la versione testuale qui sotto.
Per prima cosa, è necessario accedere al cruscotto cPanel del vostro account di hosting WordPress. Quindi, è necessario navigare nella sezione Database, dove è possibile fare clic sull’icona phpMyAdmin.
In questo modo si avvia l’applicazione phpMyAdmin.
Qui è necessario selezionare il database di WordPress dal riquadro di sinistra.
Ora viene visualizzato l’elenco delle tabelle del database di WordPress.
È necessario cercare la tabella wp_users in questo elenco e fare clic sul link “Sfoglia” accanto ad essa.
Nota: i nomi delle tabelle nel database di WordPress potrebbero avere un prefisso diverso da quello mostrato nell’immagine. La modifica dei prefissi delle tabelle può migliorare la sicurezza del vostro sito WordPress.
Ora si vedranno le righe della tabella degli utenti di WordPress. Fate clic sul pulsante di modifica accanto al nome utente di cui desiderate cambiare la password.
PhpMyAdmin mostrerà un modulo con tutti i campi delle informazioni dell’utente.
È necessario cancellare il valore del campo user_pass e sostituirlo con la nuova password. Nella colonna Funzione, selezionare MD5 dal menu a discesa e fare clic sul pulsante Vai in fondo al modulo.
La password verrà crittografata utilizzando l’hash MD5 e poi verrà memorizzata nel database.
Congratulazioni! Avete cambiato con successo la password di WordPress usando phpMyAdmin.
Alcuni di voi si chiederanno perché abbiamo scelto l’hash MD5 per criptare la password. In precedenza WordPress utilizzava l’hash MD5 per crittografare le password, ma da WordPress 2.5 utilizza tecnologie di crittografia più forti.
Tuttavia, WordPress riconosce ancora l’MD5 per garantire la compatibilità con il passato. Non appena si accede utilizzando una stringa di password memorizzata come hash MD5, WordPress la modificherà automaticamente per utilizzare gli algoritmi di crittografia più recenti.

I’ve tried this several times and each time it still says the password is incorrect, and yes I have the correct database.
WPBeginner Support
The next thing to check would be that the MD5 action is properly going through in your database or if it gives you an error.

Changing password by clicking lost or forget password and then getting an email is an easy step.
Using phpmyadmin for changing password is a bit developer oriented.
I have used while developing sites from local host by flywheel but I fear doing for the live server.
Do we have the same encryption after changing password as it was before or it is simply the hard coded text that we typed in as password?
WPBeginner Support
If you are using the phpMyAdmin method you would want to put in your password normally and in the function dropdown you would set it to MD5 to have the password be the text you placed in the field.

Hi,
I have just tried to reset my password with the MD5 method you suggested, but it didn’t work. I tried like 5 times and every time I tried to login into my website it would say incorrect password. What’s wrong?
Thanks in advance.
WPBeginner Support
If you have more than one WordPress installation on your hosting provider, ensure you are editing the correct database and ensure you apply the changes in the database for the most common reasons.

Hello,
I tried to reset my password using this method, but it’s showing this error “Error: The username user is not registered on this site. If you are unsure of your username, try your email address instead.”
WPBeginner Support
That would normally mean your username is not on the site, you would want to ensure are logging in with the correct username or email address. The steps in this article should not affect your username or email.

This method is not working for me. I even tried updating the password using raw SQL. It does change the password but I still cannot log in with the new password.
WPBeginner Support
If this method is not working then we would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider and/or checking that you are editing the correct database on your hosting provider if you have more than one database.

Hi, I followed your advice, but when I click on Go, I have the #1142 error message “UPDATE command denied to user ‘scienceisa431’@’@XX.XX.XX.X’ for table ‘mod597_users’
Is there a way around this?

Changing your password shouldn’t cause that specific issue, there is a good chance a plugin may have had a conflict. You would want to follow our guide below for how to fix the white screen error:

Thanks! The “MD5” encryption step is what I was missing when I tried to reset. Then I came across your article and tried it and it worked! You just saved me hours and hours of time and a potentially angry client.

I tried this but didn’t work. Need help
WPBeginner Support
If your changes are not staying, you would likely want to check with your hosting provider to ensure you’re not running into a security tool blocking your change. Another common issue would be if you have a staging site or an old database for a previous site so you would want to ensure you are changing the information for your correct site.

It would depend on what part didn’t work. The most common reasons would be if you did not save your changes or did not convert to MD5

Great article, I can see how this “can” work, but didn’t work for us either!!!!! We have access to the registrar, access to the domain and web hosting, full access to file manager, phpMyAdmin and the Installatron.
Followed your instructions to the T, didn’t work. We even changed the email in the email field. Its like the script didn’t update.
WPBeginner Support
If this method didn’t work then you likely need to reach out to your hosting provider and your host should be able to assist in fixing this issue.

You may want to clear your cache on your site and browser and check with your hosting provider that they are not preventing changes to your site’s database.
