WordPress Password Hash Generator

If you have forgotten your password, you can always use the ‘Forgot your password?’ option to generate a new password. It only becomes difficult if you no longer have access to the e-mail address of the account, or if the function isn’t working as a result of a bug or outdated plugin.

The only way to help here is usually 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.

This is of course not so easy if you are not a developer. Therefor, we have created an online WordPress password hash generator for you.

Simply enter the desired password in the text field shown above, and our online generator will do the encryption. All you have to do afterwards is to paste the password into your database.

To make the whole thing easier for you, we have created two SQL statements. Replace the placeholders and then insert them into your PhpMyAdmin SQL input field.

Warning: We used the “wp_” prefix for the SQL statements. If you entered a different one during installation, you will have to replace it.

There is none. The SQL statement (username) changes the password based on the username, while the SQL statement (e-mail) changes the password depending on the stored e-mail address of the user.

We just wanted to offer an alternative option here, as we have already seen many times that users use e.g. special characters or Cyrillic characters that 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 helps to restore the password in the worst-case scenario.

Yes, if you get stuck or just want to be on the safe side, you are welcome to ask us to create your password at any time. The best way to contact us is by email or contact form.
