Change my password without access to the back end

I have a textpattern install on my development server that won’t let me login. Unfortunately I can’t use the Forgotten Password link as the server has no SMT functionality.

Is there anyway I can change my password via phpMyAdmin or some such?

Thanks.

—Edit— I’ve found my password, but I guess this maybe useful to know just incase.

From the FAQ

With phpMyAdmin, or at the MySQL command prompt, run the following query:

   update txp_users set pass=password(lower('pass')) where name='user';

..where pass is the new password, and user is the login username.

Or from the wiki: Resetting Admin Password.
