Lost Password to this Site

As most of you can tell, this site is built with WordPress. I haven’t worked on this website for quite some time and this morning, I had a hard time getting into the WP backend. It said that the password entered was wrong and the password retrieval email feature stood up on me.

I entered MySQL backend and changed the password using MD5 hash string. This inspired me to write a small post on retrieving passwords on WordPress through MySQL. Let me know if you have similar situations. I can help you and at the same time, you can inspire me to write more Howto posts.
