Another option… if you have access to the database, perhaps through something like phpmyadmin, you can update the password to whatever you want…
1. Figure out what you password will be.
2. Convert it into an MD5 hash (try someplace like https://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php to convert)
3. Access the database–
From phpmyadmin try the following:
a. select the correct database from the dropdown menu on the left side of window.
b. Select the “structure” tab from the main window.
c. Look for the “wp_users” table and select the icon for ‘browse’.
d. Select the pencil icon to edit.
e. Paste your newly created MD5 hash that corresponds to your chosen password into the “user_pass” field.
f. hit the go button to save.
and you should be golden.
