admin login denied. begging for help!!!

[gtsight]

hi,
I was uploading pictures to my gallery and left my computer for a half hour. when i came back to resume uploading pics, it asked me to login again. my browser is set to remember my username and login so I just clicked "login" as usual, but all the sudden it says:
"You have specified an invalid username or password."
It's crazy. All the sudden it doesn't work. I can't figure it out. I looked through tons of posts on the forum but can't find a way to find out what went wrong and how to retrieve the username and password required by my gallery to login. I tried to have it sent to my email several times but I never get the email.
I'm begging for help.

thanks for the help. unfortunately Nicky's suggestion doesn't work. it always comes back saying: "You have specified an invalid username or password." I'm lost. I don't know what to do.

1 - From phpmyadmin (SQL Query) - run this:

UPDATE 4images_users
SET user_password = '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3'
WHERE user_id = '1';

2 - Clear all cookies, temp files. Close browser - reopen. Try.

Or just simply register a new account and after that go to phpmyadmin and change the usergroup no. for this new account to 9 thats it!

hi. I tried this but it doesn't work. maybe I'm doing it wrong. I copy pasted this and ran it:

UPDATE 4images_users
SET user_password = '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3'
WHERE user_id = '1';

Then I tried to log in with the password and user id above but it didn't work. am I doing it right?

1 - From phpmyadmin (SQL Query) - run this:

UPDATE 4images_users
SET user_password = '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3'
WHERE user_id = '1';

2 - Clear all cookies, temp files. Close browser - reopen. Try.

send 4images admin url
and send url to phpmyadmin
