 * Im trying to design a staging website to redesign my website. I can’t seem to
   use the new themes I want to try as the administrator email is not mine and I
   dont have access to the person any more. The website is mine and I want to know
   if there is a way to replace the administrator email. I have tried to contact
   them but have had no success.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadministration-email-problems%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * if you need to make any changes to the password, email address or capabilities
   and roles of a user, you can do that in the database connected to your staging
   site. the user details are in the tables users and usermeta.
 * here is a resource for changing password for administrator user: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/reset-your-password/#through-phpmyadmin](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/reset-your-password/#through-phpmyadmin)
