Reset a Modx Manager Password using SQL
Posted by admin | Filed under Computing and IT, Pick and Mix
If you’ve forgotten your manager password and you have access to the database and can issue mysql commands (phpmyadmin, or from a mysql command prompt). Use this to reset an account password, tbh, I would of hoped this system was salted (instead of using standard md5, maybe it was done intentionally to allow for this).

UPDATE modx_manager_users SET PASSWORD = MD5(‘adminpassword’) WHERE username = ’admniusername’;

(NOTE: Sorry if this didn’t work for you before, it seems the wordpress plugin didn’t encode the apostrophees into html character entities.)
