👋🏼Welcome to my WP-Host blog where I am excited to share my knowledge and expertise on WordPress hosting and website construction tutorials with you. Let’s connect and learn from each other! You can reach me at info@yrshare.com.
Continue to share the wordpress website building tutorial. How do you set up your website background password, is it very simple or very complicated? Simple passwords are easy to be hacked, and complex passwords are easy to forget, but we still have to try to set the password as complex as possible, so as to avoid the website from being hacked as much as possible. If your website password is complicated, then please remember it well.
But what if you forget your password? Next look at the method.

Step 1: Log in to PHPmyadmin
Log in to PHPmyadmin. As shown in the picture above, find the wp-users field, and then find the string of notes in the red box above, this is your website password (different websites are different here). This password cannot be used directly, it is encrypted by MD5, you can try to use some MD5 decryption tools to crack it, but Yueran Network Studio found that the effect is not very good, and many of them fail.
Step 2: Modify the MD5 password
As mentioned earlier, it is not easy to crack the MD5 encrypted password, so we don’t need to decrypt it. Here we can use another string of known MD5 characters instead.
As shown in the figure above, we modify the original characters as follows:
5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592
The actual password of this string of characters is: hello
so then you only need to use the password hello to log in.
Step 3: Log in to the WordPress background to change the password
Use the password obtained in the previous step to log in to the background of the wordpress website, and then enter the user management to change the password, or create a new administrator account, and then delete the original one.
Summarize
This method requires a simple operation of the database, but it is not complicated. You just need to follow it. It is very convenient, and I personally feel that this method is simpler and easier to use than other methods.
