Admin password recovery???

AdvoKit Info
After installing Advokit, I changed the password. Of course, logging in the next day, this password didn't work, and of course I never did fill in an email address for the admin
Modifying the ak_person table with an email address and then trying to send the password through the forgotten password table results in a "Sorry could not find your information in our database".
Any ideas -- is there another table to modify??
Thanks,
Chris
Lost Admin Password

I changed the password_salt in the advokit.ini file to help secure our data. As is mentioned there, this change invalided all passwords immediately, so I used phpmyadmin to create a new MD5 password putting
"admin:NEW_PASSWORD_SALT:password"
in the PASSWORD field of the PERSON table for the admin row.
I was then able to log in as admin, browse the users and change their passwords directly.
Re-run installer
To recover a lost admin login, you can re-run the AdvoKit installler, and select the "Reset admin password" button. This will reset the password to "admin", and let you get in.
Please remember that if you can run advokit-installer, anyone can! Don't leave it sitting under your web root when you're done!
