HowTo Modify My Password Using PHPMyAdmin
Question: I’m unable to remember my password, and I’m not getting my Forgot Password email to get a new one. How can I figure out what my password is?
Answer: Passwords are encrypted using SHA1, so you’ll need to replace your password with a known SHA1’d password.
In this case, I use the password of password, which is set to:
5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
Using a MySQL tool such as PHPMyAdmin (or something similar) replace the value of password with the text string listed above.
NOTE: Once you log into the EE backend, make sure to change your password to something else.
