Troubleshooting request - admin users got logged out of Wordpress, unable to log in, "reset password also not working".
Rebooting the server has not resolved the issue.
The users shared this page,
https://blog.hubspot.com/website/locked-out-of-wordpress
Reset the password by connecting to the database and editing the users table, getting the MD5 hash of the password using
echo -n testpasswrdreplacewithcorrectone | md5sum
which works fine, tested with
Still could not log in, so renamed the password security plugin directories as mentioned in the post above, located in public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins
password-protect-page
and
password-policy-manager
in this case, renamed to the directoryname_deactivate or whatever.
Then login works.
