I've just been trawling through the source and come up with the following:
In LocalSettings.php you need to add the line:
$wgPasswordSalt = false;
Then run the following on the database:
UPDATE user SET user_password=MD5('the_new_password') WHERE
user_name='the_user';
You should then be able to log in via the username and new password.
Don't forget to remove the added line from LocalSettings.php once done
with.
Hope that helps,
