A redefinição da senha do WordPress geralmente é um processo simples. No entanto, às vezes os métodos padrão não funcionam, fazendo com que você fique sem acesso ao seu site.
Alguns de nossos leitores se depararam com esse problema e pediram nossa orientação sobre a melhor maneira de acessar suas contas. Felizmente, você sempre pode usar a ferramenta phpMyAdmin no painel de controle da sua conta de hospedagem para redefinir sua senha diretamente do banco de dados do WordPress.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como redefinir facilmente uma senha do WordPress a partir do phpMyAdmin. Explicaremos cada etapa com clareza, garantindo que, mesmo que você não esteja familiarizado com bancos de dados, possa acompanhá-la com segurança.
Por que redefinir uma senha do WordPress no phpMyAdmin?
O WordPress facilita muito a recuperação de uma senha perdida.
Basta acessar a tela de login do seu site WordPress e clicar no link “Esqueceu a senha?
Ao clicar no link, você será levado à página de redefinição de senha. Depois de inserir seu nome de usuário ou endereço de e-mail, o WordPress enviará um link de redefinição de senha para o endereço de e-mail associado.
No entanto, se você não tiver acesso a esse endereço de e-mail ou se o seu site WordPress não enviar um e-mail, não será possível redefinir sua senha.
Nessa situação, você precisará redefinir a senha do WordPress diretamente no banco de dados. A maneira mais fácil de fazer isso é usar o phpMyAdmin.
Dito isso, vamos ver como você pode redefinir facilmente uma senha do WordPress no phpMyAdmin.
Como redefinir uma senha do WordPress no phpMyAdmin
Se não quiser assistir ao tutorial em vídeo, você pode continuar lendo a versão em texto abaixo.
Primeiro, você precisa fazer login no painel do cPanel da sua conta de hospedagem do WordPress. Em seguida, navegue até a seção Databases (Bancos de dados), onde poderá clicar no ícone phpMyAdmin.
Isso iniciará o aplicativo phpMyAdmin.
Aqui, você precisa selecionar o banco de dados do WordPress no painel esquerdo.
Agora você verá a lista de tabelas no banco de dados do WordPress.
Você precisa procurar a tabela wp_users nessa lista e clicar no link “Browse” (Procurar) ao lado dela.
Observação: Os nomes das tabelas no seu banco de dados do WordPress podem ter um prefixo diferente daquele que estamos mostrando em nossa captura de tela. Alterar os prefixos das tabelas pode aumentar a segurança do seu site WordPress.
Agora você verá as linhas na tabela de usuários do WordPress. Vá em frente e clique no botão de edição ao lado do nome de usuário cuja senha você deseja alterar.
O PhpMyAdmin mostrará um formulário com todos os campos de informações do usuário.
Você precisará excluir o valor do campo user_pass e substituí-lo pela sua nova senha. Na coluna function (função), selecione MD5 no menu suspenso e clique no botão Go (Ir) na parte inferior do formulário.
Sua senha será criptografada usando o hash MD5 e, em seguida, será armazenada no banco de dados.
Parabéns! Você alterou com êxito sua senha do WordPress usando o phpMyAdmin.
Alguns de vocês podem estar se perguntando por que selecionamos o hash MD5 para criptografar a senha. O WordPress usava anteriormente o hash MD5 para criptografar senhas, mas desde o WordPress 2.5 ele vem usando tecnologias de criptografia mais fortes.
No entanto, o WordPress ainda reconhece o MD5 para oferecer compatibilidade com versões anteriores. Assim que você fizer login usando uma cadeia de senhas armazenada como um hash MD5, o WordPress a alterará automaticamente para usar os algoritmos de criptografia mais recentes.

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.

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.

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.
