    Is it an opensource application or custom developed? Was the password encoded or plain text that you edited?

    Password is more than likely in salt and md5, or one or the other.

    

[code=PHP]
<?php
$string = 'NewPassword';
$salt = 's+(_a*';
$hash = md5($string.$salt);
?>
    Code (markup):
    take the output and place it in a text file and then do.

    md5sum password.txt

    take the encrypted password and place it in your database for your user.

    If this does not work, skip the salt portion and try md5 only.
