How to retrieve your wordpress password

I have installed wordpress on my pc for testing. However, I signed out by mistake, and I don't remember my password!

I have tried to retrieve it, but it won't send the reminder email to me.

Is there anyway to hack it or something?

This happened to me. There is a way that I can't remember but if you go to wordpress.org, it's somewhere in their support section.

Pete.

Not sure where that link takes you. But I would imagine you could reset the password within the database.

You would more than likely have to take the old password out and put a new encrypted password in its place.

Yep, that is just what I was about to say. Wordpress is probably using WHA or SHA encryption, so you just would encrypt your new password with that level of encryption.

On your WP login page, there's a "Lost your password" link

I think that does not work because he has it installed locally.
