    Hi Monica,
    You can't decrypt this code back into your password. MD5 encryption can't be reversed. You can change your password through your database.

    If you have access to your MySql DB in your control panel, you would find the user DB and change the password for it. Thats the encrypted password, its no good.

    Heya,
    I would suggest you have a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password first.

    The simplest solution is often the best, use the Wordpress password reset feature, if you email address is incorrect on the admin profile then you can update that with SQL in PHPMyAdmin.

    Alternatively fall back to the other resetting options (as suggested by @e-abi).

    Cheers
    Stuart

    Yes it is not in md5 any more, but resetting the password with md5 hash via phpMyAdmin should still work.....

    You can try resetting your password through the wp-admin/wp-login page. Or you can do it manually through your cPanel and find PHPMyAdmin. There you can update the password of your user account in wordpress. :) I hope this helps. :eek:
