Change a user's password

If a user forgets their password you must reset it directly in the database. The user_password is the MD5 hash of the user_id + '-' + the MD5 hash of the plaintext password. The following examples set the password for user #1 to 'plaintext_password'.

MySQL:

UPDATE user SET user_password=md5(CONCAT('1-',md5('plaintext_password'))) WHERE user_id=1;
