Once logged into the WP backend, click on Users. Then locate your administrator user and click on it. In the Edit User screen, scroll down and locate the New Password option right under Account Managament. Click on Generate Password.

From the list click on wp_users. You will see a line with options, one of which is user_pass. That is the password for that user. Do not be confused by the symbols in the password. That is not your actual password, but a MD5 Hash version of the password. WordPress stores the passwords as MD5 Hash for security reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Now click on Edit right next to the pencil icon.
