2.13.5.4. Changing admin password in Drupal

It is technically impossible to find out the current administrator password, since it is not stored on the site in clear text - only its hash is stored. It is only possible to replace the password with a new one.

Drupal 7 and newer
Drupal prior to version 7

To change the admin password in Drupal:

In the site config file take a look the name of the database to which it is connected.
Discover database in phpMyAdmin.
Execute the following SQL query, specifying instead of new_password New password:
```
UPDATE `drupal_user` SET pass = MD5('new_password') WHERE uid = 1;
```
If the names of the tables in the database do not start with the standard drupal_, and with a different prefix, make the appropriate change to the SQL query.
Check the login to the admin panel.

To change the admin password in Drupal:

IN site root directory create a PHP script with content by specifying instead of new_password New password:

script.php

<?php
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
require_once 'includes/password.inc';
echo user_hash_password('new_password');
die();
menu_execute_active_handler();
?>

Execute the script in the browser and you will be shown the password hash code.
In the site config file take a look the name of the database to which it is connected.
Discover database in phpMyAdmin.
Execute the following SQL query, specifying instead of hash_password the hash code obtained as a result of executing the script:
```
UPDATE `drupal_user` SET pass = '$hash_password' WHERE uid = 1;
```
If the names of the tables in the database do not start with the standard drupal_, and with a different prefix, make the appropriate change to the SQL query.
