In this blog, I am showing how you can reset magento admin password if you lost it and cannot recover using Forgot Password option. I assume that you have the server access of magento i.e Database and FTP access.
For this you have to create a file named reseradminpass.php and paste the bellow code into this file and upload it in your magento root directory.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<?php require_once 'app/Mage.php'; umask(0); /* not Mage::run(); */ Mage::app('default'); ## For magento1.7 or Earlier var //$_HASH_SALT_LENGTH = 2; ## For magento1.8 and magento1.9 $_HASH_SALT_LENGTH = 32; #Generate admin password $password = "admin1234"; echo $adminPass = Mage::helper('core')->getHash($password, $_HASH_SALT_LENGTH); ## And reset password field in "admin_user" table ?> |
Here the variable $_HASH_SALT_LENGTH is for salting the password (set 32 for magento1.8 and magento1.9 and set 2 if your magento var is 1.7 or earlier).
Now browse the file as www.yourwebsite.com/reseradminpass.php. Hence, you can see the new password. So, copy it and replace the password field in “admin_user” table.
And that’s it, now you are able to login from admin using by this given password.
Yes, that’s worth working. Thanks
Wow! Yes its work fine but need to delete file after done.
Thanks! It worked for me.. I was stuck with the login issue but it worked for me now!
