Why Choose This Password Hash Generator?

The primary reason to use this particular password hash generator today is its support for the new password hashing system introduced in WordPress 6.8. You also have the ability to generate password hashes for previous versions of WordPress, something no other similar generator offers.

Using this generator ensures complete security and relevance. Since I regularly use it in my own projects, I carefully track WordPress updates, so you can be confident that you’re getting the most valid password hash.

How to Reset WordPress Password

One of the most convenient ways to reset a WordPress account password is through database modification.

Hash Generation

The challenge lies in the fact that WordPress does not store actual passwords in its user table; instead, it keeps hashed passwords. With this tool, you can easily convert any password into a hash that can be used as the new password for your WordPress account – enter the password you want to set, select the required WordPress version, and click Generate Hash.

Updating the Hash

Once you have generated the hash, you need to:

  • Open the database of the required site, for example, via phpMyAdmin.
  • Locate the wp_users table.
  • Find the row of the desired user and update the user_pass value.

You can also change the password using a simple SQL query:

UPDATE `wp_users` SET `user_pass` = 'YOUR-HASH' WHERE `user_login` = 'USER-LOGIN';
