Hello, @melinda365

You can easily recover your WordPress admin password by accessing the admin area login page and click the “Lost your password?” link. You can then enter either your Username or Email Address to receive the new password.

Your other option will be to change the password directly from the database. You can find more information here:

Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes.
