Att återställa ditt WordPress-lösenord är vanligtvis en okomplicerad process. Ibland fungerar dock inte standardmetoderna, vilket gör att du blir utelåst från din webbplats.
Några av våra läsare har stött på detta problem och bett oss om råd om hur de bäst kommer åt sina konton. Lyckligtvis kan du alltid använda phpMyAdmin-verktyget i ditt hostingkontos kontrollpanel för att direkt återställa ditt lösenord från WordPress-databasen.
I den här artikeln visar vi dig hur du enkelt återställer ett WordPress-lösenord från phpMyAdmin. Vi förklarar varje steg tydligt, så att även du som inte är bekant med databaser kan följa med på ett säkert sätt.
Varför återställa ett WordPress password från phpMyAdmin?
WordPress gör det superenkelt att återskapa ett förlorat password.
Du kan helt enkelt gå till vyn för login på din website i WordPress och klicka på länken ”Lost your password?”.
När du klickar på länken kommer du till sidan för återställning av password. När du har enter ditt användarnamn eller din email address kommer WordPress att skicka en länk för återställning av password till den associerade email addressen.
Men om du inte har tillgång till den email addressen, eller om din WordPress site Misslyckas med att skicka ett email, kommer du inte att kunna återställa ditt password.
I en sådan situation måste du återställa ditt WordPress password direkt i databasen. Det enklaste sättet att göra det är att använda phpMyAdmin.
Med det sagt, låt oss se hur du enkelt kan återställa ett WordPress password från phpMyAdmin.
Så här återställer du ett password för WordPress från phpMyAdmin
Om du inte vill titta på tutorialen på video, kan du fortsätta att läsa textversionen under.
Först måste du logga in på cPanel-instrumentpanelen på ditt WordPress webbhotell konto. Därefter måste du navigera till sektionen Databases där du kan klicka på phpMyAdmin-ikonen.
Detta startar phpMyAdmin-appen.
Här måste du välja din WordPress database från den vänstra rutan.
Du kommer nu att se listan över tabeller i din WordPress database.
You need to look for the wp_users table in this list and click on the ’Browse’ link next to it.
Note: Tabellnamn i din WordPress-databas kan ha ett annat prefix än det vi visar i vår screenshot. Om du ändrar tabellprefix kan du förbättra säkerheten på din site i WordPress.
You will now see the rows in your WordPress users table. Gå vidare och klicka på knappen edit bredvid användarnamnet vars password du vill ändra.
PhpMyAdmin kommer att visa dig ett formulär med alla fält för information om användaren.
You will need to delete the value in the user_pass field and replace it with your new password. Under function column väljer du MD5 i rullgardinsmenyn och klickar sedan på knappen Go längst ner i formuläret.
Your password kommer att krypteras med hjälp av MD5-hash och sedan lagras i databasen.
Vi gratulerar dig! Du har utan problem ändrat ditt WordPress password med hjälp av phpMyAdmin.
Några av er kanske undrar varför vi valde MD5-hash för att kryptera password. WordPress använde tidigare MD5-hash för att kryptera lösenord, men sedan WordPress 2.5 har det använts starkare krypteringstekniker.
WordPress känner dock fortfarande igen MD5 för att tillhandahålla bakåtkompatibilitet. Så snart du loggar in med en password string som är lagrad som en MD5-hash, kommer WordPress automatiskt att ändra den till att använda de nyare krypteringsalgoritmerna.

The method using PHPmyAdmin is great, and I use it when I have access to the database and don’t want to change the current user’s password. Personally, I have a slightly different approach: I first create a hash using an online tool and then change only the hash in the database to mine. The advantage is that after finishing the work, I can revert to the original hash, so I don’t have to change the current user’s password.
Prescott Chartier
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.

Alternatively, there are also online hash generation tools. You enter your password in them and they generate a hash for you. Then just try replacing the original hash with the generated one and use the new password to log in. It should work (I’ve tried it this way).

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:

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.
