Overview

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
• Limit the number of users with full administrator access
