How to Reset Laravel Admin Passwords from Database?

Laravel is a very stable and intuitive PHP framework that is available as open-source software. In addition to including the fundamental elements of PHP frameworks such as CodeIgniter, Laravel provides a range of advanced functionalities.

When it comes to passwords, Laravel hashes its password using Bcrypt to make it secure.
This way, you can neither decrypt it without knowing the correct password nor type the password directly into the database to reset a user’s password.

Laravel has the ‘users’ table in the database to store the user credentials like email and password.
To do so, you need to reset the password for a Laravel user from the database.

In this short guide, we will understand these steps:

1. First, log in to your cPanel account.
2. Go to the Terminal section and access your folder via SSH.
3. Once you are inside the folder, type in the below command to open a different console.
   [user@abc106 public_html]$ php artisan tinker
4. You will then view a console that starts with >>>
5. And type in the command:
6. user@abc106 public_html]$ echo Hash::make(‘enter-your-new-plain-text-password-here’)
7. Replace your new plain text password here with the main password you want to use.
   Note: This will be in plain text, not in the hashed format.
8. Then, you will get to see the output as shown below:
   $2y$10$GTP5DRX5IBTH9iCikZV7zeKHZeRC9EHP28Hs2LaHBGC9oZkTaHKfW⏎ 
9. After you have the password, copy and paste it under the password field in the user’s table.
   And that’s it! 
10. As indicated above, you can now access your account by entering the revised password and username.
