Go To :

1 - Login in to PhpMyadmin .

2 - Jump in to Magento's database .

3 - Go to admin_user table and edit the table .

4 - put a "password" (which you want) and select MD5 from function dropdown (Important).

This is working both in CE And EE latest version (tested in both latest version), no need of core file changes.
