Poking around in the database is a horrible idea, when you've got an entire framework at your fingertips. This is the proper way of changing the admin password:

Create a file called reset-password.php and place it in the site root:

setUseSessionInUrl(false);
umask(0);

$user = Mage::getModel('admin/user')
    ->load('admin', 'username')
    ->setNewPassword('mynewpassword')
    ->save();

Make a request for /reset-password.php in your browser, and the Magento framework should update the password for admin to mynewpassword.
