For some reason if you forget password of your informative blog or some crap-head had stolen your password or you wordpress admin login details have been hacked then you may not have access to your Administration panel for your blog using your user name and password don’t get panic you still can get your blog access back. You need to change information using wordpress-database. You need to access your MySQL database, if you are not aware of what database you have used you can easily get information about it, you need to FTP into your hosting account and will have to open wp-config.php file in text editor where you will get name of database you have used.
Once you login to your cpanel you will have PHPMyAdmin tool which is used to manage your database. Get into PHPMySQLAdmin using cPanel >> MySQL Databases >> PHPMyAdmin. You need to login to PHPMyAdmin select Wordpress database from dropdown list. You will then see database table you need to open SQL tab and will have to write following SQL query in text filed “
UPDATE `wp_users` SET `user_pass` = MD5( ‘new_password_here’ ) WHERE `wp_users`.`user_login` = “admin_username”;
Where “new_password_here” – should be replace with the new password you want to use and “admin_username” – should be replace with the username for which the password should be updated for.
Thus the final step, click on the GO button to submit the query. Once completed successfully you can login to WordPress using this new password.
If you still face any problem then you can contact your hosting provider but all hosting provider doesn’t help to resolve such problem s, that’s reason you should select fully managed hosting. Eukhost provides affordable web hosting and Business Email Hosting package with 24×7 support.
