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.

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

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.

This didn’t work for me

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

The email could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.
error shows
WPBeginner Support
If you have that error on your site, you would want to start by reaching out to your hosting provider.

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.

This didn’t work for me. I’ve tried changing my password via my profile in WP Admin and using this technique; neither worked. WordPress 5 bug?

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.

It didn’t work for us. I am still locked out of my WordPress Account. Please help!

If this method does not work, if you reach out to your hosting provider they should be able to help you log back into your site.
