WordPress Password Generator
Generate a new WordPress password, a new WordPress hash for your login
How can I replace my WordPress password?
If you have forgotten your password, you can create a new one at any time using the ‘Forgot your password? option can be generated by WordPress. It only becomes difficult if you no longer have access to the account’s e‑mail address or the ‘Forgot your password? option no longer works.
In most cases, the only way out is via the database. WordPress stores the passwords in the database in encrypted form for security reasons. It is therefore not possible to simply read or replace them. First you have to encrypt the password using the WordPress hash algorithm.
Of course, this is not so easy for the layman. So that you don’t have to sit down to learn programming, we have created an online WordPress password hash generator for you.
Simply enter the desired password in the text field above and our online generator will take care of the encryption. You then only need to add the password to your database.
To make things easier for you, we have generated two SQL statements. There you only have to replace the placeholders and then insert them into PhpMyAdmin.
Attention: We have used the “wp_” prefix for the SQL statements. If you entered a different one during installation, you must replace it.
What is the difference between SQL statement (user name) and SQL statement (e‑mail)?
There is none. The SQL statement (username) changes the password based on the user name, while the SQL statement (e‑mail) changes the password depending on the user’s e‑mail address.
We simply wanted to offer an alternative option here, as we have often experienced that users use special characters or Cyrillic characters, for example, which are difficult to recognize. We have therefore decided to generate both SQL statements for you as a template so that one of the two SQL statements will help you to recover the password if the worst comes to the worst.
I don’t know my way around, can you help me?
Yes, if you get stuck or simply want to play it safe, you can always ask us to create your password. The best way to contact us is by e‑mail, contact form or by phone.
