Steps to reset the wordpress admin login in database

Login to the server and get into the "public_html" folder of the server.
Then execute the following commands :

> vi wp-config.php

See what is the database used by the wordpress and quit that ":q!".

> mysql
> use "database"; ( database = name of the database )
> show tables;
> desc wp_users;
> select ID,user_login,user_pass from wp_users;

For changing the username :

> update wp_users set user_login='username' where ID=1;

For changing the Password :

> update wp_users set user_pass=md5('password') where user_login='username'



Have a nice day :)
