I cant login into my website even when I input my correct login credentials. I tried to reset my password, but I did not receive the email. What can I do? Please help. I have the access to cPanel.

If you're attempting to input an MD5 into the DB and it's not working, make sure it's lowercase. I had an MD5 generator give me uppercase letters and it didn't work. Lowercase works.– i-CONICACommented Sep 7, 2018 at 21:29
The password reset is not working because your WP php mailer is not working due to incorrect setup. Similarly if thats the case, your registration and other emails won't work too.
