    Hi

    I just setup wordpress hosting on Godaddy. When I wanted to login to the admin area of WP it said my password is wrong. So I clikced “lost your password” and filled in my email address. I have now done that 5 times over the last 2 hours and I still haven’t got any emails with a new password.

    Please help

    Thanks

    you just go to your cpanel database and follow the following steps.

    1. Login to phpMyAdmin connected to the MySQL database server.

    2. Select the database the used by the WordPress blog that the
    password wanted to be reset.

    3. Locate the wp_users table (normally the last row), and then
    click on the Browse icon under Action column on the same line.

    Browse wp_users Table
    4. Locate the user_login which the password want to be recovered
    and reset, and then click on the Edit button in front of the
    line.
    Edit WordPress User Table in Database

    5. Under the user_pass field, delete everything in the
    corresponding Value field on the same line.

    6. Enter a new desired password (case sensitive) in the now empty
    Value text box, i.e. NEW PASSWORD in the illustration.

    7. Select MD5 in the Function field drop-down menu.

    8. Click on Go button to save and reset the password.
