However, if you want to reset a password, I **think** you can create MD5
key to the new password, then apply it in some field in the user table.
I'm not sure it will work, so be careful.
I have nefarious things like this in the past with outher systems -
notably LDAP
where I chose a password encrypt it and then cut and paste the new
MD5 (or crypt) string where
it is supposed to be and viola!(sic) It works.
YMMV

and yes be careful. You should probably take the opportunity to
install phpMyAdmin.
