Forgetting our password is a very common problem, and in turn there are several ways to solve it. We can change the user and change the password of a website from our database with the help of "phpMyAdmin". In this article we will see the process to perform this action.
- Log into cPanel.
- We locate the "Database" section and enter our database through "phpMyAdmin".
- We expand our database and locate the "wpyl_users" table, then edit the user and/or password, either by double clicking on the attribute you want to change or on the "Edit" button.
- If we want to edit the password, we must consider that it is encrypted with MD5, so we only have to encrypt the new password before changing the password (You can encrypt your password through the internet).
- Once you have copied the encrypted password, we will proceed to paste it in the corresponding space, we must make sure that it does not have blank spaces. Press "Continue" to save the changes, and login to your website.
Note:Modifications to our database can alter the correct functioning of our website, so we recommend to be careful with our actions.
