You can update a WordPress password through the database. This is helpful if you can’t receive the password reset email.

  1. Sign in to phpMyAdmin. Note: If you’re using cPanel Hosting, you must select the database for your WordPress site in the left-hand column before continuing to the next step.
  2. From the sidebar menu, select the wp_users table.
  3. Next to the user you want to update, select Edit.
  4. In the Value column, delete the contents of the user_pass box.
  5. Enter your new password into the same box.
  6. In the function column, use the drop-down menu and select MD5.
  7. Select Go.

You can now sign in with your new password.
