Resetting your password inside the database using PhpMyAdmin is an option if you are unable to access the WordPress backend.
The wp_users table can be found by accessing the database of your website (note that if you changed the prefix after installation, it might not be the same as wp_).
Click the Edit option from the menu on the left after finding your username in the user_login column.
What you see on the following screen is the field user_pass, which contains a bunch of weird characters.
A new password should be created and anything existing should be deleted. After that, choose MD5 from the function column’s drop-down menu and press the “Save” button at the bottom.
