Hello, I forgot my Wordpress Password, the account was "created" automatically when installing the script, so when I try to get a password reset or reminder, the system tells me that the account doesn't exist. Can anyone please help me to recover my pass? I'm talking about the wp-login page
thank you!

cPanel regular (not basic)
phpMyAdmin
Select your wordpress database
Look at the 'users' (or 'wp_users' if you used table prefixes) table
user_login will be the username for the Admin account on your WordPress. You can also look at or edit the user_email.
Note that the password field is your password Encrypted --

I'm not a support team member, but in my pass experience it is always something I did like a typo or something like trying to log in as admin when I should have been logging in as a user then the admin panel was available. It may also be possible to recover the password in softaculous if you used it to install WP. I would look there you may have a typo in user name or something. Its usually something simple in my case and makes me feel stupid after I find it.
