 * I am running a self hosted WordPress Blog. Due to a computer crash I lost all
   my Password data. Since I have several e-mail addresses and I do not remember
   which one I was using during the installation I cannot recover my password the
   normal way. Can you help me please as I am not able to login to my admin page.

 * Can you access your database via Phpmyadmin? If so, your user email address will
   be in the wp_users table.

 * I do not know how to use Phpmyadmin, I however can access the root files of my
   host where my WP is hosted. I looked around in there but can’t locate any e-mail
   address. I can see the following folder:
 * **user-edit.php
    
   user.js
    users.php wp-admin.css
 * Please let me know either on how to reset the password or better to retrieve 
   the original e-mail address used to sign up for WP

 * The details are in the database – not within the files on your server. You need
   to access the database.

 * [@chrisbliss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisbliss/): If you can find
   your login to phpMyAdmin, then see the following video for how to change the 
   password.

 * **Dear Esmi & Figaro,**
 * You guys rock! Great video and now I understand the entire issue. In my host 
   pannel I found the mySQL database but do not have any admin access. I mailed 
   my host, Network Solutions and await their reply how to gain admin access. Will
   update you on this issue.
    Thanks again to both of you.

 * your database infomation located in your wordpress site root, a file called “
   wp-config.php”, you just connect it using the db info, no need admin permissions.
