I have a user who has forgotten their password.  For a number of reasons, 
email is not available on this system, so I need to jam a new password into 
the database for him.

I see the user_password and user_newpassword fields in the user table, but 
they are obviously hashes of some sort.

Can someone post the syntax of the appropriate SQL to insert a new password?




Thanks in advance.
