Password Reset Problem

    I forgot the admin password for my WordPress blog. I do know the admin username. I clicked the “forgot password” link and got a new password sent. Problem is, the address it emailed the link to no longer exists. So I have no idea what the password was changed to.

    Is there any way to either change the address that is associated with that username or to change the password to something I know?

    Thanks.

    Problem is, the address it emailed the link to no longer exists.

    change the email address associated with the admin account. its stored in the database inside the users table.

    Where do I find the database and specifically the users table? I didn’t do anything fancy, just a standard install via Fantastico.

    Hi,

    You can get the wordpress database under that there will be a table wp_user. You need to edit the user details from that table and reset the password.

    You can get database details from MySQL database console like…PHPMyAdmin.

    Thanks,
