There are several methods you can use to recover and reset the user's password as an administrator in WordPress (as well as several methods to add a domain to Cpanel and install WordPress). Let's see what each of them is about.

How to recover my admin password with my email

Retrieve my administrator password with my e-mail it's the easiest and most practical way, as long as you have access to the email associated with WordPress.

To do this, all you have to do is access the WordPress login page and click on the link under the Username and password fields, in Lost your password?

If you click on it, it will take you to a page where you can specify your user or admin email address and ask WordPress to send you a link to reset your password.

To do this, once you have written the email, click on Get a new password. Now you just have to wait for the message that WordPress sends you with a link to create a new password.

Although it is true that WordPress takes the liberty of generating a new password for you, we recommend that you use one you don't forget. Remember that if you want to make it more secure you can use a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and special characters or symbols.

If you always work from the same computer, you can choose to Remember your password, so you don't have to enter it every time you log in. However, if it is a computer that is accessed by multiple people, it is not recommended.

You can change your WordPress password using phpMyAdmin. With this, we will do it from your website database. We recommend this if neither of the above two methods worked (we also recommend updating your PHP version before proceeding).

Whenever you make a change, it is recorded in a database. There you can find all the settings for your site, including passwords.

Whenever you create a website, your web host has to give you access to its database via the control panel. Click on phpMyAdmin.

On the right of the screen you can see all the tables that make up your database, such as comments, users, publications, etc. At the top of the screen, look for Export.

This way you can export all data associated with your website in one file. To do this, click on Quick and then on Go. Choose the destination path where you want to save it. This will help you return to the previous settings.

Now go to the Structure tab and search wp_users. The password is below user_pass. It shows you an encrypted value. To change it, click Edit to the left of the user's row. Finally, click Go to save the changes.
