    Hi depears.
    Today I want to share how to reset your wordpress admin password .
    last week my wordpress blog has been hacked by some m***r F***r hacker . He change the master password and mess up with my theme that i had not backup yet T_T.
    i cannot login to my admin panel. i cannot recovery the password. so the solution is . login to your hosting cpanel, and go to phpMyadmin on database section.
    then find your WP_ database. open the users table and click edit on admin or id=1 table entry.
    now you can edit the password of the admin. on user_pass is encrypted with md5 . so go to google and search for MD5 generator. enter the password you want on md5 generator and then generate . copy and then paste to user_pass table and save the table.
    that's it, now you can login to admin menu with new password.

    and then dont forget to backup your website regulary

    Thanks

    There is also the option to delete the existing admin, than save from other database the admin table wich you know the password for and upload it on the hacked website's database

    You can also insert a new admin user via phpMyAdmin. In fact I've gotten in the habit of making a backup admin just in case this ever happens again.
