How to Reset WordPress Hosting Password

You can reset your WordPress Hosting password in two different ways, which you’ll learn in this guide.

Resetting Password via WordPress Login Page

WordPress makes it easy for you to reset your password. You can simply go to their login page and click on the “Lost your password” link. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1.	Enter YourDomainName/wp-admin on your browser.
Step 2.	Click on the Lost your password? link.
Step 3.	Enter your username or your email address.
Step 4.	Click the Get New Password option.

At this point, WordPress sends a password reset link to the email address associated with your WordPress account. However, if you don’t have access to the email address, then you will not be able to reset your password. In this case, you will need to reset your WordPress password directly in the database. The easiest way is to reset it via phpMyAdmin. Continue reading this guide to learn how to do it.
