    go to users->all users on the dashboard. Find yourself and click “edit”. Scroll down to :new passord” and click “generate password”. You can accept th suggested password or overtype it with your own choice.

    If you simply want to update your password, you can go to your profile page by clicking on “Howdy, Admin” in the top right corner. “Admin” is your username, so it might be different for you.

    After you click on it, it will take you to
    https://example.comwp-admin/profile.php

    Scroll down until you see a button “Generate Password”. Click it, it will create a new password (save new password) and then click blue button at the bottom of the page “Update Profile”.

    This will update your password. Make sure you save new password before hitting blue button to update it, you won’t see new password after that.

    Also, keep in mind, clicking “Generate Password” button simply creates a new password but doesn’t change password in the database. You have to click “Update Profile” button to change password permanently.
