Make a new account with the a password he wants, go into account in your database and copy the code from the new account (in password) straight over his old one.

Orrr you can just add a change password to a xampp httdocsand use the website , but if your only doing it for your self, then do what he said above me
Just create an account again then take all the random numbers and where it says password just replace them there and done ...

And please give that other guy a thanks for trying to help you
its always respected even if it didnt work you should always thank some one for trying.

or...

Code:

UPDATE account SET password = md5(concat('PASSWORD',char(0xA3,0xAC,0xA1,0xA3),"fdjf,jkgfkl")) WHERE id = 123456789;

You could also use name instead of id, but id is safer. Just make sure you double check your queries or you could end up changing everybody's password.

It's part of the hashing process. Don't touch it. Only change the password or stuff after the WHERE keyword.
