You can try following sql query

UPDATE admin_user SET password = CONCAT(SHA2('xxxxxxxYourNewPassword', 256), ':xxxxxxx:1') WHERE username = 'admin';

Keep xxxxxxx as it is in the query.

Alternatively, you can try the command bin/magento admin:user:create

For more details on using this command go through https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/install-gde/install/cli/install-cli-subcommands-admin.html

  • This is for M2 only, and dont forget to check the lock_expires field also if you've entered multiple wrong passwords already...

no, because the password is hashed.

You can update the password by clicking on sql in the top and executing the following sql command:

UPDATE admin_user SET `password` = md5('YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD'), is_active = 1 WHERE `username` = 'YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME';

You should change your password in the Magento backend afterwards again.
