Change Your Password Using Automatic Emailer

If you know your username or the email account in your profile, you can use the “lost password” feature of WordPress.
  • Go to your WordPress Login page (something like http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php)
  • Click on the “Lost your password?” link
  • You will be taken to a page to enter some details. Enter your username or the email address on file for that account.
  • Wait happily as your new password is emailed to you.
  • Once you get your new password, login to your profile page and change this password to something you can remember.
