To reset a WordPress website's administrator email address, complete the following steps:

1. Use [SSH](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/lightsail/latest/userguide/lightsail-how-to-connect-to-your-instance-virtual-private-server.html) to connect to Lightsail.
2. Get the WordPress administrator account's user ID:  
    ```plaintext
    $ mysql -u root -p bitnami_wordpress -e "SELECT * FROM wp_users;"
    ```
      
    **Note:** The default username and password are in the **/home/bitnami/bitnami\_credentials** file.
3. Reset the administrator email address:  
    **Note:** Replace **example-DATABASEHOST** with your host, **example-NEWEMAIL-ADDRESS** with the new email address, and **example-ADMIN-ID** with the user ID.  
    ```plaintext
    $ mysql -u root -h example-DATABASEHOST -p bitnami_wordpress -e "UPDATE wp_users SET user_email='example-NEWEMAIL-ADDRESS' WHERE ID='example-ADMIN-ID';"
    ```
    
4. To verify that the email address is updated, get the administrator account's user ID:  
    ```plaintext
    $ mysql -u root -p bitnami_wordpress -e "SELECT * FROM wp_users;"
    ```
