    you dont have to delete the file, just delete tables in the database from cPanel. when u install wordpress you will get a mail to our email with default password.

    Go to "PHPmyadmin" or your database management panel and delete the tables.
    You can also create a new database and use it for installation.

    Dont delete any table...
    Just go to PHPmyadmin
    select the database you have wordpress installed in
    go to the table "wp_users"
    Select browse
    edit the user_pass field => type in your new password => after entering the new password select "MD5" under the Function option corresponding to the password field.
    And once done click on "Go"

    You should be able to login with the new password now.

    Ofcourse, deleting tables works, but just incase you loose your password for an existing blog with posts you would never delete the tables.. so just learn the proper way..

    PM me if you need any help!

    Cheers!!
