This method involves editing and updating the wp_users table values to reset our lost WordPress password. The method is little longer but is also easy enough to follow without a lot of technical knowledge.
- Connect to your host and access PHPMyAdmin
- Click on your WordPress database (_wpXXXXXX)
- Navigate to and click the table wp_users
- Edit the row with your WordPress username
- Now, in the user_pass field, change the function to MD5 and enter your new password in the Value section
- Click “Go” or similar option at the bottom to update the table values
