Step 2: Further, Click on Lost your password?
Step 3: On the following screen, enter your username or the email address you used for your WordPress account. Then click ‘Get New Password’ and you will receive a link to create a new password via email.
Now, you need to check your inbox and click on the link in the email you received. You will be taken to a screen where you can reset your password and you can create a new admin password.

Change Your WordPress Password via phpMyAdmin
Normally you can reset your WordPress password in the dashboard or request a new one via email. If you don’t have access to both your email and WordPress dashboard, you can change your password directly in the database (phpMyAdmin).
Step 1: Log in to cPanel
Step 2: Tap on the phpMyadmin, under the Database
Step 3: On the left-hand side, click on the database you want to change the WordPress password. Then scroll down and click on the wp_users table
Step 4: On the row next to your admin username, click on Edit. If you have multiple users on your WordPress site, double-check to ensure you are editing the right one and in the column user_pass, you can enter a new password. Ensure that you select MD5 from the function column. Then click on Go at the bottom.
