    Hi.

    I have many blogs running with Wordpress....the problem is in 2 of them that the password is not working...I tried to type an email so I can get the password but I don´t remember which email I used....

    There is a way to get it?

    Any idea is welcome...


    Thanks in advance

    If you have an access for the databases, you can rather change the email address of the administrator account and from there you can put request by forget password from the front end....

    If not, just copy any of the known password (md5) which has been already used by any of the p database and paste it on the password column

    I think that wordpress is ushing a hash which is different for every installation. The best way is to set another email address from phpmyadmin and reset the password to that email address.

    If you enter

    9dd4e461268c8034f5c8564e155c67a6

    into the wp_users table for your username's password, your login password will be

    x

    From there, you can change it to what you want.

    @thedark - it's an unsalted MD5 hash.

    I hope you use a self-hosted WordPress.
