If you run into Password Recovery Error with WordPress Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid, do the following

  • To correct this, fire up phpmyadmin ( it will be usually mysql.yoursite.com) in Cpanel,
  • click on the database name,
  • Select “wp_users” Table
  • Click on Brose Icon ( first icon)
  • Click on the Row to edit the password
  • Click on the pencil icon for editing the table, then do the following:
  • User pass > Function > MD5 and type in your new password
  • Click the “go” button and all should be fine.

This should fix the problem.
