The WP password reset is one big loop. That sends me in a circle. From the password reset to my email back to the password reset. Never does it just send me a reset link that would allow for me to enter a new password. Like 99% of any other sites. * Plugin Author [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/passord-reset/#post-7689406) * WP Admin No Show doesn’t affect password resets. You should be able to change your password even if you’re using a blacklisted role. It doesn’t sound like what you’re describing could be caused by the plugin. * Just for general troubleshooting – do I understand you correctly that you get an email after you submit the password reset form (where you enter a username or email address) but it doesn’t contain a link so you can actually reset your password? * Thread Starter [tdwelchg-admin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdwelchg-admin/) * (@tdwelchg-admin) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/passord-reset/#post-7689472) * This is what I get. There is no unsubscribe. I’m sent in one big circle. WP – does not send a password reset link or simple method. I big circle jerk for the last 3 days. * Search WordPress.org for: * Showcase * Themes * Plugins * Mobile * Support * Get Involved * About * Blog * Hosting * Download WordPress * Forums * Welcome, tdwelchg-admin!

And no straight forward way to reset your WP site password.

I can only help you with the plugin. * Have you installed the WP Admin No Show plugin and if so, in what way is this plugin causing a problem? * If you have installed the plugin and you cannot login as admin user to disable it, then you need to use FTP to delete the WP Admin No Show plugin manually. * However again, this plugin has nothing to do with password resets or emails generated by WordPress. Aplogies if I’m misunderstanding the question but I can only help with questions specifically regarding the WP Admin No Show Plugin, which I’ll gladly do. * Plugin Author [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/passord-reset/#post-7689552) * Resolving as reported problem doesn’t appear to be related to WP Admin No Show.
