In this article, we will show you how to reset WordPress account password via login page, admin console and cPanel.
The first method requires access to the email associated with the WordPress account. If you are already logged into your admin console you will not need to access your inbox.
Finally, if you are unable to access your email or dashboard, you will have the option to change the WordPress account password from cPanel.
