9. Run the wordpress installation php
Open the following link in your browser:
C:\wamp\wordpress22\wp-admin\install.php
First Step:
weblog title: Anything you like say your “Name”
your email: first.last@email.com
Then click to go to second step
Second Step:
Wordpress will create a default ‘admin’ account and will show you the password for it.
Note it down carefully.
For earlier versions of wordpress :
Wordpress tries to send the password for the ‘admin’ account to this email address.
This will not work as there is no mail server configured on your local machine.
We will reset the password manually later on.
The password is generated automatically. The default admin account is ‘admin’.
You can close the window when it stops to show any futher activity after waiting a while for the database tables to have been created.
Change the admin user password
mysql> use wordpress22;
mysql>update wp_users set user_pass = “”5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99″” where id=1;
“5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99″ is md5 equivilant of text “password”
md5 generator : http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php
md5(”password”) = “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99″
