It may sound strange to some, but someday you will need this post. Anybody can happen to forget the admin password type of personal blog Wordpress.
In this case, all you have to do is manually change the admin password for your Wordpress platform.
Learn how the lines below.
The easiest way is to log you on PhpMyAdmin and run a simple SQL query to update. Once you are entered into phpMyAdmin, select the database of your Wordpress blog and click on the icon “SQL” to open the SQL query. Then, the portion of text enter the following code:
UPDATE 1 'wp_users' SET 'user_pass' = MD5 ( 'PASSWORD') WHERE 'user_login' = 'admin' LIMIT 1;
Do not forget to change your password and user name before executing code. Also always make the database backup before running any query!
