Lost and at sea ? Cannot access your WordPress Admin Area? Lost your password?

What you should do, if you've forgotten or lost your WordPress Admin password....

Step one of course would be to fill in your username and your email into the lost password form.

But what if you don't know one of either your username or your email?

Are you out of luck?

Not if you have admin access to your server.

First things first.

1. login to your server admin account (cPanel, Hsphere, Plesk, etc...)

2. open up PHP MyAdmin (see your host's help file)

3. open up your WordPress weblog database

4. don't panic when you see the complicated screen

5. click on wp_users in the left hand column

6. choose browse from the top menu

7. you will see all your users with usernames and passwords

8. go back to the login screen

9. request a new password

10. if necessary modify the email to one which will come to you

Now that was'nt so difficult was it ?
