How to Change a Drupal Password
Sometimes it may not be possible to recover your password on a Drupal site, in which case you may need to change your password from a Terminal, (or you can get your system administrator to change it for you).
The problem can occur when you forget your password, and the e-mail settings of Drupal are setup incorrectly, this results in not being able to recover your password through e-mail.
Its very unfortunate, because this can effectively lock you out of your account. By using Drush, it is possible to create a new password for your Admin account, you can then login and change your password.
You can either connect to your server with Putty (Windows), or via SSH in a Linux terminal.
If Drush is not installed, you will need to install it first. Step-by-step:
1. Install Drush I.e.: sudo apt-get install Drush
2. Navigate to the directory of your Drupal installation. I.e.: cd /var/www/drupal/
3. Change password. I.e.: Drush upwd --password="new-password" "username"
