You can regain WordPress admin access without a password or email by resetting the credentials directly inside phpMyAdmin through your hosting control panel, or by adding an emergency login snippet via cPanel/FTP

Method 1: Reset the Admin Password via phpMyAdmin

1. Access your hosting account (such as cPanel or your host’s dashboard) and open phpMyAdmin. [1]
2. Select your site’s database (you can confirm the database name by checking wp-config.php via your File Manager). [1]
3. Click on the wp_users table (your table prefix might be slightly different, e.g., wp_xyz_users). [1]
4. Find your administrator row and click Edit. [1]
5. Locate the user_pass field:
   • In the function dropdown menu next to user_pass, select MD5.
   • In the value input box, delete the hashed text and type your new plain-text password. [1]
6. Click Go / Save at the bottom of the page. You can now log into your WordPress dashboard using that username and new password. [1, 2]
