  • 0

Locked out of WordPress? Don’t worry. Resetting your WordPress password is easier than you might think. Whether you’ve forgotten it or just want to change it for security reasons, Essex Web Hosts walks you through every step.

Quick Tip: You don’t need technical skills to reset your WordPress password. We’ll guide you through multiple easy methods—just follow the steps.

What's Inside

  • ✅ Reset via the Login Page
  • ✅ Change Password from Dashboard
  • ✅ Reset via phpMyAdmin
  • ✅ Contact Essex Web Hosts Support

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Reset via the Login Page

Go to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php and click on “Lost your password?”. Enter your admin email, and WordPress will send you a reset link. Follow the link to set a new password.

2. Change Password from Dashboard

Already logged in? Go to Users → Profile → New Password. Click “Set New Password”, save, and you’re all set. Essex Web Hosts recommends using a strong password generator.

3. Reset via phpMyAdmin (Advanced)

In your cPanel, click phpMyAdmin → select your WordPress database → open the wp_users table → edit your user and replace the password using MD5 encryption. Not sure? Reach out to us.

4. Contact Essex Web Hosts

If you're still locked out or prefer we handle it for you, contact Essex Web Hosts Support—we’ll reset your password securely and quickly.

Final Tips from Essex Web Hosts

  • Use unique, complex passwords for your admin account.
  • Keep your email address up-to-date in your WordPress profile.
  • Consider enabling two-factor authentication for added security.
