## Change WordPress-Password from MD5 to Bcrypt

Bedrock’s structure limits access to non-public files and offers more secure passwords through wp-password-bcrypt. The password you have set during the Local setup is hashed using MD5, prohibiting you from accesing wp-admin. Therefore you have to reset your password once to gain access.

In WordPress, there is more than one way to reset your password. You can check out ![this Guide](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/reset-a-local-sites-wordpress-admin-password/#reset-a-current-user-s-password) to learn more.
