retreiving a wordpress blog password?

Hi there

does anyone knwo how to get a lost password from a wordpress blog?

I dont use the email that it was red'd with !! ( bigger )

I do have cp access though, does anyone know how to reset the email for lost password recovery or how to reset password via the hosting cp (not wordpress cp)

thanks!

 

look into your wordpress database, using phpmyadmin.

 

Yes dude,you can check in phpMyadmin and if you are unable to find it,then i can do it for you..

 

WordPress user passwords are stored in the wp_users table. If you have access to phpmyadmin through your control panel browse to that table and find your username. The password is stored in a md5 hash. Just copy the md5 hash into a site like this: http://gdataonline.com/seekhash.php and it will give you your password. I would suggest you then login and change it to something else. WordPress sometimes has problems with cookies I find so you might have to log out, clear your cookies and log back in with the new password.

Good luck.

 

Thanks guys for your help, i'm going to see if i can sort this out by going into phpmyadmin

thanks!
