md5 question - from an md5 dummy

[Tizer]

Hi

I have downloaded a script which is protected by with a user name and password login page. The default user/pass is admin/admin and in the read me file is says to change these in the database to your own (no register page). The password is in md5 format, I changed it to my password, which wasn't in md5 format and it won't allow me to login!

I am have looked at the login script and it uses some kind of an md5 checksum - so I am presuming that the password must be in md5 format.

How do I change my password into an md5 password?

Well run this script anywhere you want

<?php
 echo md5('mypass');
?>

then insert the value that is printed out there into the password column.
