About the WordPress Password Hash Generator

Generate phpass portable hashes ($P$…) — the password format WordPress has used for decades and still accepts — so you can reset a password directly in the wp_users table via phpMyAdmin or SQL. You can also verify a password against an existing hash.

Resetting a WordPress password with SQL

UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = '$P$B…your hash…' WHERE user_login = 'admin';

WordPress upgrades the hash to its newer format automatically the next time that user logs in.
