Magento 1 Password Reset

Written by

To reset the password for the admin user in Magento 1 installation, go to phpMyAdmin, run the following SQL command.

UPDATE admin_user SET `password` = CONCAT(MD5('xxPASSOWRD_HERE'), ':xx') WHERE `username` = 'admin';

In the above SQL command, replace PASSOWRD_HERE with your new password.

If you don’t know Magento backend URL, you can find it in file app/etc/local.xml

In this case, Magento backend URL is yourdomain.com/2XwA5Vb6PW
