3. In the left menu, click the table named similar to _users. For example, if you have a table prefix of hl2rx, find the table named hl2rx_users and click on it.
4. Find the Super User account in the list, and then click Edit next to it.
   
5. Next to password, in the drop down menu select MD5. Next to that, enter your new password and then click Go.
