[Typo3] Backend admin password

[Jeff Segars]

You can create a new password and insert it into the database but I 
don't think there's any hope for recovering the old password...unless 
you have time to break through the MD5 encryption :)

Just call the MD5 function from the command line (md5 -s mypassword) and 
you'll get a new encryped password.

You can then insert this new password to the be_users table with 
phpmyadmin, through a SQL statement from the command line, or any other 
method that you have direct database access.

I've forgotten the password myself a time or two so I hope that helps :)
