The WordPress password hasher implements the Portable PHP password hashing framework, which is used in Content Management Systems like WordPress and Drupal.

They used to use MD5 in the older versions, but sadly for me, no more. You can generate hashes using this encryption scheme at http://scriptserver.mainframe8.com/wordpress_password_hasher.php.

hash type salt password   If the hash does not use a salt  then there is no   sign for that  The actual hash in your case is after the 2nd    The reason for this is  so you can have many types of hashes with different salts and feeds that string into a function that knows how to match it with some other value

Wordpress uses MD5 Password hashing  Creates a hash of a plain text password  Unless the global  wp hasher is set  the default implementation uses PasswordHash  which adds salt to the password and hashes it with 8 passes of MD5  MD5 is used by default because it s supported on all platforms  You can configure PasswordHash to use Blowfish or extended DES  if available  instead of MD5 with the  portable hashes constructor argument or property

For manually resetting the password in Wordpress DB  a simple MD5 hash is sufficient   see reason below  To prevent breaking backwards compatibility  MD5-hashed passwords stored in the database are still valid   When a user logs in with such a password  WordPress detects MD5 was used  rehashes the password using the more secure method  and stores the new hash in the database  Source  http   eamann com tech wordpress-password-hashing  Update  this was an answer posted in 2014  I don t know if it still works for the latest version of WP since I don t work with WP anymore

MD5 worked for me changing my database manually  See  Resetting Your Password
