Recently I forgot the admin Wordpress password to login to this blog.

I knew that the password for the username admin was stored on the mysql database for this blog, so I used the mysql plugin for webmin to access the wordpress database directly.

I was able to see the password for the username admin, but it was encrypted.

I didn’t know the original password so what I did was to delete the encrypted password directly on the database. Then I ran this command on the linux console.

[KillerPenguin@penguincares themes]$ echo -n “blue13″ | md5sum
c6a13318eee2feecf1e0ca25ca2bbd65 -

if you noticed I turned the word blue13 into an md5sum encrypted password then I cut and pasted the password into the wordpress database and save it. Then I was able to login with my account admin and password blue13.

I figured someone might run into this problem so i figured this might help someone out there with the same problem.

Don’t try the password blue13 because i already changed it

Yeah, this blog entry might strike you as weird, but actually I just wanted to test a plugin for Wordpress that allows anyone to put a flash player that will play mp3 files right on your wordpress blog.

I have been working with computers for a long time. I don’t consider myself
a genius but I am a curious person and I like to figure how things work and try to
learn as much as I can about anything I don’t understand. One of my favorite subjects
is learning about Linux.

For a long time I have used Linux and I have learned a whole bunch of stuff and I wanted
to share some of my knowledge with you so that it can help you and hopefully give back
to the Linux community that has helped me so much in the past.
