Reset Admin/God Password

---- The Error / Problem

You are trying to login to your Admin/God account but cant login or you want to reset the password on an Admin/God account for some reason.

---- The Reason

There are many reasons as to why you might not be able to log into your Admin/God account but if you feel that is has to do with the password or that you want to just reset an Admin/God password for some reason use the following solution.

---- The Solution

Please Note: Backup your database before you use this code. You have been Warned!!!
Open phpMyAdmin and go to the nuke_authors table.
Click on browse for that table and then click the edit link on the Admin/God you want to edit
Enter the following code into the “pwd” field and save it.

Code: :

dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964

This will make the password for the account “Password” (Note: This is case sensitive).

Code: :

5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

Alternatively, this will reset it to "password" (Note: This is case sensitive).
Log into the Admin account and change the password to whatever you want from the Admin -> Edit Admins Section
IMPORTANT:
You cannot enter passwords directly into the nuke_autors table as they are encrypted by a process called MD5, the above code for Password is the encrypted code and this is why it works
