Option 1: Lost password link

  1. Go to yourdomain.co.uk/wp-login.php and click Lost your password?
  2. Enter your username or email address.
  3. Follow the link in the email to set a new password.

If the email doesn't arrive, check spam, then try one of the options below.

Option 2: WordPress Toolkit

  1. In cPanel, open WordPress Management.
  2. Select the site and click Setup next to the administrator username (or Log in to go straight into the dashboard).
  3. Set a new password.

Option 3: phpMyAdmin

  1. Find the database name in wp-config.php (the DB_NAME line).
  2. In cPanel, open phpMyAdmin and select that database.
  3. Open the wp_users table (the prefix may differ) and click Edit on your user.
  4. In user_pass, choose MD5 from the Function drop-down and type your new password in the Value box.
  5. Click Go. WordPress upgrades the password to stronger hashing the next time you log in.
