But the password have many numbers and letters encrypted with salt. 


What will happen if i remove that encrypted password and replace it with a "normal" password? Will that works? I not want to try it on my main admin account

Skadate, the password is crypted, you're correct the field won't accept just words. See screenshot. 


Find a user you joined website with. Copy his encrypted password and paste to the password of the admin. Then you'll be able to login with the password of that user.

Greetings. I noticed that someone tried to log into my account. I want to protect my page from hacking, so I hope you can recommend me a good proven company that will help me do this.

I personally use Passwork services. This password manager for small business is a simple and effective way to protect my company's data. with them, I can maintain control over access to important accounts, reduce the risk of hacking, and save time. Especially for my business, where every resource counts, investing in a password manager is a smart choice. I hope you like them too.
