Wordpress Password Hash Generator

WordPress Password Reset Generator (Hash)

Locked out of WordPress or need to reset a user password through the database? This tool helps you create a WordPress-compatible password hash that you can paste into your database to set a new password quickly and safely.

WordPress does not store passwords as plain text. It saves a hashed version instead. When you update the database, you must use a valid WordPress hash—this tool generates one for you.

How to use the WordPress Password Generator

Use this tool when you want to reset a WordPress password directly from the database (for example, if you can’t access the admin panel).

You can:

• Enter your own password and generate its hash
• Or click Random to create a strong password, then generate the hash for it

Copy the generated hash and use it in your database update.

Steps to update a WordPress password in the database

1. Open phpMyAdmin (or any database tool you use).
2. Connect to the database used by your WordPress website.
3. Open the users table (usually wp_users — your table prefix may be different).
4. Use this tool to generate a hashed password:
   • Type your password, or click Random
   • Copy the generated hash
5. Update the user’s password field (user_pass) with the hash.

Example

Replace the table name if your prefix is not wp_.

UPDATE `wp_users`

SET `user_pass` = '$P$BXdJzbcCjLnLoXzHS645odEe/BMaBA1'

WHERE `user_login` = 'john';

After updating, log in using the password you generated (the plain password), and WordPress will handle the rest.
