Bitnami wordpress reset admin password

WordPress packaged by Bitnami provides a one-click install solution for WordPress.

Download installers and virtual machines, or run your own wordpress server in the cloud.

WordPress is one of the world’s most popular web publishing platforms for building blogs and websites.

Today, let us see the steps followed by our Support Techs to reset password:

• Firstly, obtain the user ID for the WordPress administrator account from the command line:

mysql -u root -p DATABASEHOST -e "SELECT * FROM wp_users;"

• Replace the DATABASEHOST placeholder with the host where the database is running.
• Then, use the command below to reset the administrator password from the command line.

mysql -u root -p DATABASEHOST -e "UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass=MD5('NEWPASSWORD') WHERE ID='ADMIN-ID';"

Remember to replace the DATABASEHOST placeholder with the host where the database is running.

The NEWPASSWORD placeholder with your desired password and the ADMIN-ID placeholder with the user ID obtained from the first command.

• Then, to obtain the hostname where the database is running, you can execute the following command

sudo cat /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-config.php | grep 'DB_HOST'

You should see output similar to this:

define('DB_HOST', 'provisioner-peer:3306');

In this case, the DATABASEHOST placeholder should be replace by “provisioner-peer”.
