- Example: yourdomain.com/wp-admin
- Click on the link “Lost your password?” under the login form.
- Enter your WordPress admin username or the email address associated with your admin account.
- Click Get New Password.

Important Note
If you don’t receive the password reset email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.

You must have access to the email address associated with your WordPress admin account to complete this process.
