How To Mass Edit Post Password Using MySQL

I’ve seen a lot of people ask this and I warn you to backup your WordPress database before doing any MySQL work to your WordPress.

You can run this via command line or in PHPMyAdmin:

UPDATE wp_table_posts SET post_password =’password’;

SYNTAX EXPLAINED:
UPDATE: What you want MySQL to do.

wp_table_posts: What ever you named your WordPress tables when you installed with _posts added to it since we’re updating the posts.

SET: What data you want to modify.

post_password: What column in the table we are updating.

=”password’;: The password you’re going to want for all of your posts with some syntax for MySQL to work properly.
