{GET} Every screwed up or forgot your WP logins? Then use this simple script to add a new login via cpanel in 30 seconds.

The code in the script is totally obfuscated - so god knows what is in there!

I see now it is only letting me create a User Level of "subscriber". Must be why it is not letting me have the permissions to log in to the ACP. I do not see any way to change the permission level to admin status.

Thanks for the share...rep added...

I have had this happen once or twice and went into phpMyadmin without issue except for figuring out what the database name was...

You can find the steps here...

Code:

And there is a php script wordpress offers but I have never used it....not sure if it is the same as the op...apologies if it is...

Code:

Using the Emergency Password Reset Script
If the other solutions listed above won't work, then try the Emergency Password Reset Script. It is not a Plugin. It is a PHP script.
Warnings

1. Requires you know the administrator username.
2. It updates the administrator password and sends an email to the administrator's email address.
3. If you don't receive the email, the password is still changed.
4. You do not need to be logged in to use it. If you could login, you wouldn't need the script.
5. Place this in the root of your WordPress installation. Do not upload this to your WordPress Plugins directory.
6. Delete the script when you are done for security reasons.

Directions for use

1. Save the script below as a file called emergency.php to the root of your WordPress installation (the same directory that contains wp-config.php).
2. In your browser, open http://example.com/emergency.php.
3. As instructed, enter the administrator username (usually admin) and the new password, then click Update Options. A message is displayed noting the changed password. An email is sent to the blog administrator with the changed password information.
4. Delete emergency.php from your server when you are done. Do not leave it on your server as someone else could use it to change your password.

Hope this helps...feel free to add rep if it does...

For those who didn't want to use the script all you have to do is log in to the phpMyAdmin and go to the table "wp_users" and find a field "user_pass" and replace it's value with a new password while checking "MD5" under the "function" column. Hit Save and you are done. No scripts necessary and probably faster then 30 seconds too :)

I can always get help from my hosting company but this will be very handy!

Im sure this will help those not fortunate enough to have my hosting provider. Max Reps OP

But with my hosting all I have to do is go in and click on the install info for each instance of wordpress and it gives me the login details and db details without having to recreate or edit anything.

I can give you the direct link if you want it to check out but not on this OP Thread but in pm no affiliate or anything its direct link.
