# Change your WordPress password

With Installatron you can get into WordPress without a password and then set a new one. It works even if you’ve forgotten the old one.

## Faster: let an AI app do it

If you’ve connected Inleed to an AI app, just write what you want done, for example:

> Change the WordPress admin password for example.se

The app prepares the change. You approve it in the client area.

## How to change it

1. Log in to the [client area](https://login.inleed.net) and click your hosting under **Websites, email & DNS**.

   DirectAdmin opens. No password is needed.

2. Open **Extra Features** in the menu and click **Installatron Applications Installer**.

3. Click **My Applications**.

4. Click **login** next to the website.

   You’re logged in to WordPress straight away, without a password.

5. Go to **Users › Profile** in WordPress.

6. Choose **Set New Password**.

7. Click **Update Profile**.

## How to know it worked

You log in to WordPress with the new password.

## If something doesn’t work

### The login link in Installatron doesn’t work

**Why:** A security plugin in WordPress is blocking the login.

**What to do:** Turn off the plugin by renaming its folder in **File Manager**.

### The website isn’t listed under “My Applications”

**Why:** WordPress was installed without Installatron.

**What to do:** Click **Lost your password?** on the WordPress login page.

## Good to know

- The new password email from WordPress only arrives if the website can send email.
