Did You Forget WordPress Admin credentials?<\/h1>\n

How will you login now if forget Admin credentials?<\/h3>\n

This happens many times when we forget the login password of WordPress.<\/p>\n

If you have FTP details then no need to worry about it. You can create new admin user using FTP.<\/p>\n

Just paste this code to your theme’s functions.php.<\/p>\n

\nfunction<\/span> AddAdminAccount<\/span>(){\n  $user    = 'NewUsername'<\/span>;\n  $pass    = 'Password'<\/span>;\n  $email   = 'new@email.com'<\/span>;\n  $user_id = wp_create_user<\/span>( $user, $pass, $email );\n  $user    = new WP_User<\/span>( $user_id );\n  $user->set_role<\/span>( 'administrator' );\n}\nadd_action<\/span>('init'<\/span>,'AddAdminAccount'<\/span>);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Note: this code can give error if a user already exist with this “user name” and “user email” .<\/b><\/p>\n
And if user not exist it will create new admin user with credential provided by you. but when you refresh page, code will run again , but this time user already exist.<\/p>\n
So for removing this fetal error we need to precheck “user name” and “user email” if it already exist or not.<\/p>\n
Example:<\/h4>\n
\nfunction<\/span> AddAdminAccount<\/span>(){\n  $user    = 'NewUsername'<\/span>;\n  $pass    = 'Password'<\/span>;\n  $email   = 'new@email.com'<\/span>;\n  if ( !username_exists<\/span>( $user )  && !email_exists<\/span>( $email ) ) {\n    $user_id = wp_create_user<\/span>( $user, $pass, $email );\n    $user    = new WP_User<\/span>( $user_id );\n    $user->set_role<\/span>( 'administrator' );\n  } \n}\nadd_action<\/span>('init'<\/span>,'AddAdminAccount'<\/span>);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Please don\u2019t forget to fill the username email password fields. And don\u2019t forget to delete the code from your functions file after user creation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
