If you cannot log in to WordPress, the first thing to check is whether the password is incorrect or whether the reset email is failing to arrive.
Common Ways to Reset a Password
- Use the password reset link on the WordPress login screen
- Reset the user password through the database if you have advanced access
- Use a management tool in your hosting account if available
If the Reset Email Does Not Arrive
- Check spam or junk folders
- Make sure the site can send email correctly
- Review any security plugins that may interfere with login or reset functions
Prevent Future Login Problems
- Use a password manager
- Keep your admin email address current
