Step 1. Login to your server or VPS as root
Step 2. Find your site DB
Here my test website is `hostmalabar.cf`.
How to find DB ? just switch to your sites root directory then type the following command
grep DB wp-config.php
Then you could see something like this
[root@s3 lalbros.cf]# grep DB wp-config.php
define('DB_NAME', 'adminbir_wp274');
define('DB_USER', 'adminbir_wp274');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'qp](63w0rS');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
Here my DB is adminbir_wp274
Step 3. Login to Mysql as root
Then use the DB
mysql> use adminbir_wp274;
Step4. show tables
mysql > show tables;
+----------------------------+
| Tables_in_adminbir_wp274 |
+----------------------------+
| wpb1_chat_log |
| wpb1_chat_message |
| wpb1_commentmeta |
| wpb1_comments |
| wpb1_links |
| wpb1_options |
| wpb1_postmeta |
| wpb1_posts |
| wpb1_term_relationships |
| wpb1_term_taxonomy |
| wpb1_termmeta |
| wpb1_terms |
| wpb1_usermeta |
| wpb1_users |
| wpb1_wplc_chat_msgs |
| wpb1_wplc_chat_sessions |
| wpb1_wplc_offline_messages |
+----------------------------+
Here we need the table wp_users sometime it may varies like wpb1_users and wptf_users so on
Step5. verify the user details
mysql > SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM wpb1_users;
Current database: adminbir_wp274
+----+------------+------------------------------------+
| ID | user_login | user_pass |
+----+------------+------------------------------------+
| 1 | admin | $P$Btcp44x00nyRIPnmAxV23ch4btKQ461 |
+----+------------+------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.05 sec)
Here admin is the user and passwod is encrypted by md5 format
Step6. To update new password
Here is my new password is hostmalabar
mysql > UPDATE wpb1_users SET user_pass = MD5('hostmalabar') WHERE ID=1 LIMIT 1;
That’s all, password updated
To see new updated password
mysql > UPDATE wpb1_users SET user_pass = MD5(hostmalabar) WHERE ID=1 LIMIT 1;
mysql > quit
Bye
Step 7. Check the new login details.
That’s all…cheers….!!!
