WordPress Website Password Update Without OTP, Direct Cpanel
To change the password for a user on a WordPress website, you have a couple of options. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Via WordPress Admin Dashboard:
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard using your current credentials.
- Once logged in, navigate to “Users” > “All Users” from the left-hand menu.
- Find the user whose password you want to change and click on their username to edit.
- Scroll down to the “Account Management” section or look for the “Generate Password” button.
- Click on “Generate Password” to create a new password or enter your own password directly into the password field.
- Make sure to confirm the new password by re-entering it or let WordPress generate a strong password for you.
- Finally, click on the “Update Profile” button to save the changes.
-
Via MySQL Database (Advanced):
- Access your website’s database, usually through phpMyAdmin or a similar tool provided by your hosting provider.
- Locate the
wpm8_users
table (or a table with a similar name depending on your WordPress database prefix). - Find the row corresponding to the user whose password you want to change. In this case, it’s the row with
user_login
as ‘admin-result’. - In the
user_pass
column, replace the current hash value with the hash of the new password. Make sure to use the appropriate hash algorithm used by WordPress (which is typically MD5 or bcrypt). - Save the changes.
Here’s a simple way to generate a new hash for the password you want to set:
File Manager>wp-login.php file open scroll page add code and save cahnge
preview password hash
password hash update in user sql table in myphpadmin
- If you’re using PHP, you can use the
wp_hash_password
function. For example:php<?php
$new_password = 'your_new_password_here';
$hashed_password = wp_hash_password( $new_password );
echo $hashed_password;
?>
Replace 'your_new_password_here'
with your desired password, and then run this PHP code to generate the hash. Copy the hash generated and replace the existing hash value in the user_pass
column.
Always make sure to create a strong password to enhance the security of your WordPress website.
