How to Reset Root Password in Drupal 7 with phpMyAdmin

Copy the hash..
$S$C6x2r.aW5Nkg7st6/u.IKWjTerHXscjPtu4spwhCVZlP89UKcbb/
(that’s the hash for newPassword).
 

Navigate to your phpMyAdmin (likely in your control panel online somewhere).
Then browse the User table for the Root user, look like his.




Take the copied hashed text and paste it into the pass field of the Root user and hit “Go”.

  4. This won't work, because you have to generate a unique hash for your Drupal installation, as described here:

    Note the link on the password-reset file, it's similar to the index file change below.

    Or you can edit your index file, as shown here:
