Answer 1

$date = new DateTime();

$password = "b919ec4a25be3bc46c00895a0eb4f907:c20ad4d76fe97759aa27a0c99bff6710";

$sql = "UPDATE yourmagentoDB.admin_user SET password = \'".password."\', rp_token_created_at = ". $date->getTimestamp() ." WHERE admin_user.user_id = ".$user_id;

For example, your password is: frank123. Think of of any string of at least two bits. In my case i will take my new password to be “frank123” and salt to be “MD5(12)”. Next go to any md5 generator site and generate md5 of string “c20ad4d76fe97759aa27a0c99bff6710frank123”. The md5 in my case being “b919ec4a25be3bc46c00895a0eb4f907″. Now, edit the table row with the above script.
