If you would like to reset your WordPress User password, then you can use our WordPress Tools facility to do so.

The process involves:

  • Navigating to your packages and selecting the relevant one
  • Accessing the Users section
  • Locating the user account in question
  • Choosing "Manage" then "Change Password"
  • Entering and confirming the new password

Method 2: phpMyAdmin (Database Access)

For sites not on Mandraled's WordPress platform, users can directly modify the database:

  • Access phpMyAdmin through the hosting control panel
  • Log into the appropriate database
  • Find the wp_users table
  • Edit the target user's row
  • Locate the user_pass field, select "MD5" as the function, and enter the new password
  • Save the changes
