Can not login in wp admin pane

What issue or error are you experiencing?

wp admin is asking for credential I have no clue which they could be, I tried with my LOCAL credentials, resetting them, (I dont get an email) I also tried what suggested on this forum but I don’t have the options eg site shell does not open
This is very frustrating


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc


System Details

  • Local Version: 9.2.4

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: MAC MONTEREY 12.7.4

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

You can try turning on one-click admin, choosing a user, and clicking “WP Admin”. This usually lets you log in locally without a username and password.

Once logged in like this, you could reset the admin username in your WordPress admin area.

Hi Nick
Thank you for your response

I am testing weglot plugin but I am not abel to see how it works becasue I am not able to cancel cahe/refresh

Is there a way to do so on WP LOCAL
Many Thanks
Kind regards

Hi @helen1

You can use the steps in our guide here to open a Site Shell and reset or create a user using CLI commands:

When you do the password reset email, those emails will stay within Local and get captured in Local’s mail system called Mailpit. So you can try checking that as well if you want to go that route.
