How would I go about changing a WordPress user’s password directly in the database? I notice it’s not just an md5’d password. There is a $P$B at the start
Thanks,
Since v2.5, WordPress has used
phpassovermd5()for storing hashed passwords in the DB.However, I think you can still reset your password in MySQL with a standard MD5 hash. Once you’ve logged in again, WordPress will ‘upgrade’ the stored hash with the new algorithm.
