Locked out of wp-admin? There are three easy ways to get back in.

Method 1: The “Lost Password” Link

1. Go to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php.
2. Click Lost your password?
3. Enter your admin email and follow the link WordPress sends you.

Method 2: Reset via Plesk WP Toolkit

1. Log in to Plesk and open WordPress.
2. Click your site, then Setup (or the admin password option).
3. Set a new administrator password directly — no email needed.

Method 3: Reset via phpMyAdmin

1. In Plesk go to Databases → phpMyAdmin and open your WordPress database.
2. Open the wp_users table and click Edit beside your admin user.
3. In the user_pass field, choose MD5 from the function dropdown, type your new password, and save.

After You Get Back In

• Use a strong, unique password — wp-admin is the most attacked login on the internet.
• Consider limiting admin accounts to people who actually need them.
