In the context of web development, for resolving the issue of “ localhost/wordpress/wp-admin” you can follow the several steps which are given below:-

Checking URL and configuration

Ensure that the URL is correct and matches the WordPress installation path. Try to verify that your local server should be run and that WordPress is properly set including the credentials related to a database in the file called “wp-config.php”.

Database connection

Ensure also that the installation of WordPress is connected to the appropriate Database. You should check the name of the database, username, and password.

Check.htaccess file

Now try to inspect the “htaccess” file in the root directory of WordPress for checking misconfigurations. Ensure that the rules that are rewritten are correctly set up, especially if you are using permalinks which are custom in nature.

Plugin and theme conflicts

You should disable plugins and switch to the default theme. Re-enable them one by one to identify the plugins or themes which are problematic.

Browser cache and cookies

Do not forget to clean your browser cache and cookies to eliminate any stored login issues. Try to ensure that the accessing of the wp-admin page uses a private browsing window.

Error Logs

You can check the server logs for any PHP or any server-related errors. These logs can provide very important information about the root cause of the issue.

Reset password

If there is a problem with login credentials, then try to reset the admin password directly in the database. You can use tools like phpMyAdmin or run an SQL query for updating the password in the table called “wp_users”

UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = MD5(‘new_password’) WHERE user_login = ‘admin’;You can replace the “new_password” with your desired password which you want to add. You can also replace “admin” with the real username.
