My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Sort of an embarrassing question here...

but i have a secondary blog that I rarely use (American Idol blog) - when I went to the page I was not logged in. not remembering my password after several tries I used the new password generation...

It told me that a password would be sent to my email address, but nothing has actually been sent (been several hours now).

Now I am afraid that my password is some random deal... and I cannot recover it.

Is there a way to dump the database to get a list of user names, passwords so that I can retrieve my administration rights password?

Or possibly some other trick?

Help!

Through phpMyAdmin you can access your database.
Select the correct database in the left hand box
Find evo_users and hit "Browse"

In this box hit the pencil "Edit"

For the password (the string with random numbers and letters) fill in "b3188adab3f07e66582bbac456dcd212" without the quotes.

Save, leave phpMyAdmin and enter your blog. Your password is now "cabbage" without the quotes.

Good luck

PHP version :

<?php
echo md5( 'your shiny new password' );
?>

MYSQL version

UPDATE evo_users SET user_pass = md5( \'your shiny new password\') where user_ID = ##

Replace ## with your user id ;)
