Hi, you can your plain password encrypt with MD5 and than put it in the database.
Or if you use phpMyAdmin, there is a option to encrypt your plain passwort with MD5.

Hi!
Using version 2.12.2 for some time now and all appeared to be working okay. However since a few days ago I can now longer login as Administrator. I don't believe I did anything to cause this - I get this message each time I try to login: "Login name or password incorrect".

I can login to cpanel and look in the database tables and see the encrypted password and the seed word, however I cannot see the password as plain text to confirm it as the one I have been trying to use.

Is there a way to convert the encrypted form of the password back to it's plain text version? I need to be ale to edit the site asap.
