Deseja redefinir sua senha do WordPress usando o phpMyAdmin?
Se não for possível redefinir a senha do WordPress, há uma maneira de redefini-la diretamente no banco de dados do WordPress usando o phpMyAdmin.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como redefinir facilmente uma senha do WordPress a partir do phpMyAdmin.
Por que redefinir uma senha do WordPress no phpMyAdmin?
O WordPress facilita muito a recuperação de uma senha perdida.
Basta acessar a tela de login do seu site WordPress e clicar no link “Esqueceu a senha?
Ao clicar no link, você será levado à página de redefinição de senha. Depois de inserir seu nome de usuário ou endereço de e-mail, o WordPress enviará um link de redefinição de senha para o endereço de e-mail associado.
No entanto, se você não tiver acesso a esse endereço de e-mail ou se o seu site WordPress não enviar um e-mail, não será possível redefinir sua senha.
Nessa situação, você precisará redefinir a senha do WordPress diretamente no banco de dados. A maneira mais fácil de fazer isso é usar o phpMyAdmin.
Dito isso, vamos ver como você pode redefinir facilmente uma senha do WordPress no phpMyAdmin.
Como redefinir uma senha do WordPress no phpMyAdmin
Se não quiser assistir ao tutorial em vídeo, você pode continuar lendo a versão em texto abaixo.
Primeiro, você precisa fazer login no painel do cPanel da sua conta de hospedagem do WordPress. Em seguida, navegue até a seção Databases (Bancos de dados), onde poderá clicar no ícone phpMyAdmin.
Isso iniciará o aplicativo phpMyAdmin.
Aqui, você precisa selecionar o banco de dados do WordPress no painel esquerdo.
Agora você verá a lista de tabelas no banco de dados do WordPress.
Você precisa procurar a tabela wp_users nessa lista e clicar no link “Browse” (Procurar) ao lado dela.
Observação: Os nomes das tabelas no seu banco de dados do WordPress podem ter um prefixo diferente daquele que estamos mostrando em nossa captura de tela. Alterar os prefixos das tabelas pode aumentar a segurança do seu site WordPress.
Agora você verá as linhas na tabela de usuários do WordPress. Vá em frente e clique no botão de edição ao lado do nome de usuário cuja senha você deseja alterar.
O PhpMyAdmin mostrará um formulário com todos os campos de informações do usuário.
Você precisará excluir o valor do campo user_pass e substituí-lo pela sua nova senha. Na coluna function (função), selecione MD5 no menu suspenso e clique no botão Go (Ir) na parte inferior do formulário.
Sua senha será criptografada usando o hash MD5 e, em seguida, será armazenada no banco de dados.
Parabéns! Você alterou com êxito sua senha do WordPress usando o phpMyAdmin.
Alguns de vocês podem estar se perguntando por que selecionamos o hash MD5 para criptografar a senha. O WordPress usava anteriormente o hash MD5 para criptografar senhas, mas desde o WordPress 2.5 ele vem usando tecnologias de criptografia mais fortes.
No entanto, o WordPress ainda reconhece o MD5 para oferecer compatibilidade com versões anteriores. Assim que você fizer login usando uma cadeia de senhas armazenada como um hash MD5, o WordPress a alterará automaticamente para usar os algoritmos de criptografia mais recentes.

Aarthi Rengaraj says
Perfect tips and was very helpful in getting my client’s domains password changed. I was struggling and that “MD5” tag thing was actually missing. Thanks so much. This is the best place for any WordPress queries.
Susan says
I am locked out of WordPress, my site is down. I can go into my c-panel. If I change the password to an encrypted password, do I now copy that and use it to log in? I really don’t get it? It is encrypted isn’t it? What do I now use to log into my WordPress? Do I use the log in name and email that is there in the c-panel?
Thanks
Charles Allen says
Susan, the MD5 is like a secret recipe where one ingredient is missing. Let’s say we are pen pals and we are going to meet for the very first time. Since I have never seen you, I need a way to know that it is really you. One way to do this if you can send me a piece of homemade cake and a list of all but one secret ingredient. When we first meet, you will finally tell me what the secret ingredient is, and then I will bake my own cake with the exact recipe. If the cake I makes is exactly same as the cake you sent me, then I know you are really my pen pal. The MD5 is the completed cake, and the plain password you came up with is the secret ingredient. When you send the password to WordPress, it will use your secrete password ingredient to see if it can bake its own MD5 cake. When you log into WP, use the plain text password. Your WP user name is usually different from your cPanel name. If you forgot your user name, it will be listed as “user_login” in the database.
Jivanti says
Hello there,
I seem to be getting the username is invalid commad everytime I try to login.
But the username and password is correct. It seemed like I might have created a different user name the first time I got locked out of my account. Or I forgot to renew my domain. I really can’t remember.
When I use a different username, I’m able to log in into WP dashboard and do theme changes but it is not reflecting in my current website.
The current dashboard does not have any of my old post or images.
I logged into to my cpanel and checked under the myphpadmin, there is 2 database. One of it contain the old posts and images. I tried the above method using the MD5, I’m still unable to acess the old user id and my old post.
I suspect the current active site is configured at the old database.
Another question, when I reset the password through MD5, do I copy this same new rest password that was generated in the phpadmin screen ( the long one) and paste it in the wp login screen. I tried it. It didn’t work.
Please help.
Randy says
Works well.. Thank you!
slim says

yuseph says
I tried to do it without choosing md5 and it won’t do it. Thanks much appreciated
Spock says
Good advice, but spoken too rapidly. Slow down the delivery.
Charlie Sasser says
An easier way is to use phpadmin and just change the email address to your current email and then go to regular login and click on “Forgot Password” and reset from email link. No need to worry about MP5 and all that stuff.
WPBeginner Support says
This wouldn’t work if WordPress is unable to send password reset emails.

I don´t know what kind of hash it is, but it´s not default form of MD5. WordPress password hasher does the job fine.
Darshan Krishnan says
Thank you very much, Syed and team WPBeginner.
My site was put in maintenance mode and hence password reset option did not work.
I changed the password as you suggested and everything is back to normal.
Much thanks for the awesome content.

Luis says
Hi! I’m s using mamp as local host, and i’m having some troubles with it: I can’t recover my wordpress password by setting a new one on phpMyadmin. It shows that the password row has been updated to the new one I chose, but it is not recognized by wordpress.org when i try to log in. Can’t figure out what may be the problem. I’m giving up on hosting my site on MAMP. I’ve seen that I can create a new database with cPanel, since I’m paying for hosting service from namecheap. What do you suggest for starting a new project from zero? Thanks a lot!
Sieu Nguyen says
Thanks you. I lost my password and I used this way to create a new password.
Benji says
Unfortunately this isn’t working for me. I’m doing exactly what your asking, but when I made a new password using the MD5 Hash and copy and paste that new password in the field > save by hitting Go > then go to refresh my Website admin log in page, I enter the new password and still tells me I’ve entered the wrong password??? I’ve tried email recovery but never get sent an email… So painful!
Any idea’s?
Joe says
I’m getting this too, it is driving me mad! Would really appreciate some help on this
Dave says
You don’t use the hashed password. Let’s say you set your new password to “letmeinalready,” choose MD5, and save it. You wouldn’t use that hashed password to get in – you’d use “letmeinalready”
Linda says
Same problem here. I have followed all instructions to a T and it’s just not working. Can my web host chat help me? Me web developer has disappeared with this information.
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, if you reach out to your hosting provider they should have access to update your password for you
Erik Chhuo says
wow, this is way too fast a video clip for me. Just can’t follow any. Didn’t even where to start.
Karen says
Do you have to be logged into your admin to start with? I can’t even log in to do any of the above!!!
Heather says
This is not working for me…still cannot login
jan says
awesome, very old post, but still being read and replied to!
I used Duplicator to copy a one-page WP-site to localhost (XAMPP). Made a new database as instructed, password and everything.
When I try to enter local password (or is it the database password?), screen reverts to site published on cloud host.
Localhost DB has two entries: for Duplicator (prefix 2ecxx_) and what I thought was local copy (prefix wp_). But the ‘local’ DB _wp entries are actually referring to the cloud hosting environment.
Tried to change wp_user username en PW (MD5), but does not work
Changed siteurl in _wp_options to localhost, does not help
When I use 2eczz_users username and PW, page also moves back to site published in the cloud

Lot of thanx guys. It has worked for me and was stranded on my website security but now am fine.

I did all those steps but I still cannot login into my wordpress wp-admin. Can you help me? Thanks.
John Osmond says
Why not use the md5 hash that is already there in phpMyAdmin? Just open the drop-down in the functions column. I will md5 hash your plain text password for you.
