How to Reset WordPress Password without Email

How-to-Reset-WordPress-Password-without-Email

If you do not have access to the email address that you have connected with your WordPress profile, it is a bit difficult to reset the password of your WordPress account. There are a lot of ways you can try to reset the password of your WordPress website without access to your email address which we are going to discuss in this article. Instead of following the methods in the order, try to do it from the easiest to the hardest based on the access to the necessary tools required for them.

1. Using phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin is a database management tool that comes with most of the managed WordPress hosting services such as Siteground, Bluehost, etc. If you have the tool, you can use it to edit your database table and reset the password quite easily. In this article about resetting the WordPress password using phpMyAdmin, we explained the steps in detail. Follow it to reset your WordPress password in no time.

2. Using Softaculous

Softaculous is a script library that lets users install many applications easily with their one-click installer. It includes WordPress as well. This means you will be able to reset your WordPress password without accessing your email address as long as you can open the web hosting account. In cPanel, you will be able to find Softaculous (if available on the web hosting provider) which you can open and use to reset your password. We have created an article listing the steps to reset the WordPress password using Softaculous. If you cannot, see the application on your hosting dashboard, you may contact your hosting support to know if it is available or not.
