How do I check which is the administrator’s email address?

Forgot which is the email address you use to log in to the WordPress administration? You can find it in the database via phpMyAdmin in the cPanel control panel.

1. Log in to the cPanel control panel (login instructions).

2. In the DATABASES section, locate the phpMyAdmin icon and click on it. Once clicked, a tool will open in a new tab that you can use to view and edit your databases.

3. On the left-hand side, select the database of your WordPress website. Then click on the _users table in the drop-down menu and check the user_email column. There you will find the administrator email address.

You will find information about which database your WordPress website uses in the wp-config.php file. This file is located in the folder where you installed WordPress. Open the file and look for the DB_NAME record. The name of the database will be displayed next to it.
