File on my host where the password is (2 posts)

    I set up a WordPress Blog/website for a friend and placed it on my server. It appears that in the last month he may have changed the password and either didn't know he did it or did not remember.
    Since I have accesses to all the files on the server, where can I find the new password?
    Thanks. Quick answer to webmaster@websitesbycook.com

    You can't find the password as it is encrypted. What you can do is go into the database directly and change it to something you know.
