In WordPress, there is more than one way for Rsetting Your Password . I find the phpMyAdmin method to be the most straight-forward, as you’ll be changing the password directly in the database, and your username will be revealed as part of the process.
I went through the PHPMyAdmin steps and it didn’t work for me. I noticed in that tutorial there are these steps:
– Locate your Username under user_login
Click edit (may look like a pencil icon in some versions of phpMyAdmin)
– Your user_id will be shown, click on Edit
Do you have to change these? Because you don’t have to click edit on this stuff to change your password.
EDIT: I have also tried doing the FTP password change by editing the functions.php and re uploading the file but that won’t work either. Not sure what to do here!
Thank you

Before tweaking DB to change password:
Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups.
I have backups. I still need help on this is it possible to contact WordPress and have them send an email to reset since their function to do so on my site isn’t working?
I just tried doing the emergency password reset, yet when I go to “http://mysite.com/emergency.php” I just get the log in screen again.
