Encrypted Password


ok, I will try to explain what is my problem, I have a working website PHP with MYSQL ver40 database and I lost or forgot the administrator password, The website does'nt have the option to send the password by mail that is already in the database but when I go to the database I can see the username and the password encrypted (hex 32 I think), the help that I need is, if is posible to get the password having the long number from the database 89ee660951c2c98364f480da55f32541 using a MD5 or other program, I mean unencrypting the password?

If you can see the content of the database, you can edit it.
PHPMyAdmin does allow that.

so just delete the contents of the password for the admin login.
then type, in plain english, a new one.
have phpmyadmin update the db.
view it, the password should be encrypted.

head to the website and login with new password.


if it doesn't encrypt it, then remove the contents, and head to the site and login with no password and change it through the site script.
