Losing or forgetting passwords is something that most people will experience from time to time and the following video illustrates exactly how you can create a new WordPress admin password even if you have also forgotten the email address you used when setting up your blog.
Normally you would not have to go through this process as resetting your password from the login page can be done far more easily by clicking the lost password link, entering your email address, and following the instructions in the email you receive.
If you find yourself in this position you might be the kind of person who really needs a free password manager such as Roboform which can save you a lot of aggravation when you are managing multiple logins and passwords. Just a thought.
For the hopelessly forgetful WordPress user however, using PHPMyAdmin to reset your password is always an option and is explained clearly in the video.
Forgotten your WordPress Admin password? Forgotten your WordPress registered email address? No problem, quickly change your Worpress password and access your site in less than a minute.
