    You can also set your password directly on the database with a quick bit of SQL. UPDATE exp_members SET password = SHA1('pass123') WHERE member_id = 1 See this answer for more detail: expressionengine.stackexchange.com/a/2365/22

Request a reset code on the website. This will create a reset code and the next step will be to retrieve the reset code from the database.

Find your memeber_id searching for username or email in

SELECT *
FROM exp_members;

Find the reset code in the

SELECT member_id, resetcode
FROM exp_reset_password
WHERE member_id = <your_member_id>

Navigate to this link using the resetcode found in exp_reset_password table.
