How to Reset a WordPress Password from phpMyAdmin?

In there you will find the name of your database. In cpanel you will need to access your MySQL database through phpMyAdmin. Select the correct database from the left-hand side for a seamless process.
Click on the table "wp_users" in the list of tables and browse table
You will notice that there are a lot of random characters in the password field. Due to security reasons, WordPress stores the passwords as MD5 Hash instead plain text. Just copy and paste pre-coded secret password to reset password. Once you reset password go to admin panel and you can change password through admin profile. That's it.
