  I’m trying to sign into our website ‘through the back door’ to administration, however I don’t remember the link. Please advise. Thank you, LDavid@Advocates ForAnimalRights.org

  Hi @ldavidfarr,

  Your site ForAnimalRights.org is using the self-hosted version of WordPress.

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only :) https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  We can’t provide any link to your backdoor.

  However, you can try this method if you have access to your Hosting,
  click on phpMyAdmin option and this will open in new tab and here you need to select your WordPress database. (You can verify your database details from wp-config.php file)

  You will see the list of all the tables in your WordPress database. Now you have to look for the ‘{table-prefix}_users’ (by default table will be wp_users) table in the list and click on the browse link placed next to it with many other options.

  You will now see a number of rows in your WordPress users table. Click on the edit button placed next to the username where you want to change the password.

  You will see a form filled up with all the user information fields needed.

  Now, the major step of this method is to delete the value in the user_pass field and replace it with a new password. You will find a function column placed right before the null value column. You need to click on it and select MD5 from the drop-down menu and click the GO option.

  Now you can visit /wp-admin and enter your username and new password :).

  You can check this Article for more info How to Change Your WordPress Password using phpMyAdmin.
