    If you can get access to the database, your password is most likely md5 hashed. You'll have to look through the tables to find your username/password, but once you do, you can just edit the row through phpmyadmin.

    Here is an md5 hasher to make the job easier when you find it.

    Hi Altari,

    Thank you so much. I was able to change the password in database. And you are right, it was hd5 hashed and i used the link you provided to change the password and update the table.

    Your help is truly is appreciated. Rep on your way. :)

    Thanks,
    Ramki
