    The wordpress admin password isn't stored in the database to be viewed visibly. It's stored as a hash value. Use the forgot password option to resend it to your email. If you need to update your email, you can do so in the wp_users table. Rep appreciated.:)

    assuming your using phpmyadmin, go to wp_user table, edit, change the password to anything you want, save the field as md5, done
