Reset WordPress user password
You can reset the password for a specific WordPress user directly from your Dashboard.
To reset a WordPress user’s password
1. Navigate to the website overview screen by selecting/clicking on the related card in the Websites overview screen.
2. Click the “ellipsis” action menu located in the Domains and SSL section to display the drop-down action menu.
3. Click Reset WordPress user password.
4. Enter the Username or Email: In the field labeled “Username or Email Address”, input either the username or email associated with the user whose password you want to reset.
5. Set a New Password: In the “New Password” field, input a strong password of at least 12 characters. This password should include a mix of:
- Upper and lowercase letters.
- Numbers.
- Special characters like
! $ ? %.
Alternatively, click the Lock icon to generate a random strong password (you can use the clipboard icon to copy the generated password).
6. Confirm the Reset: After entering the necessary information, click the Reset Password button located at the bottom right of the screen. A background job will start to reset the password for the specified user. You will receive a dashboard notification as soon as the process is completed.
Once the password is reset, the affected user will be notified via email about the password change.
