reset_password() WordPress Function

If you've forgotten your WordPress password, never fear! You can easily reset it by following these steps: First, navigate to the login page. Below the password field, you'll see a link that says "Lost your password?" Click on that, and you'll be taken to a new page. On the password reset page, enter the username or email address associated with your WordPress account. Once you hit the "Reset Password" button, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to create a new password. Follow the link in the email, and you'll be taken to a new page where you can enter and confirm your new password. Once you've done that, you'll be able to log in to your WordPress site with your new password.
