Magento Reset Admin Panel Password

Whenever I try to set up any third party magento code base I keep coming across this issue. Why not reset the password instead of calling the client/vendor to ask for the admin credentials.
We just need to know how magento encrypts the password and stores in db.



take a note it is resetting the password not hacking the password :)
Steps -
1.Choose any two characters eg. XY.
2.Generate MD5 of two characters and your password e.g MD5('XYmypaswd').You can generate MD5 using query SELECT MD5('XYmypaswd');
3.copy this md5,append your two characters at the end of the md5 string followed by ":".so  your string would be MD5 string:XY.
4.Update the row in the database of admin user.

Happy Coding :)
