You will now be shown the rows within the WordPress users table. You should be able to see the usernames of all the users who possess a login for your WordPress account. By clicking the ‘edit’ button next to a users username, you will be able to edit the password for that account. Upon clicking edit, you will need to delete the value in the ‘user_pass’ field and replace it with your new password. Under the function column, select ‘MD5’ from the drop-down menu and click the ‘Go’ button. 
By selecting ‘MD5’ your password will be encrypted using the MD5 hash and stored in the database. It's as easy as that!
