UPDATE admin_user SET `password` = CONCAT(MD5('xxPASSOWRD_HERE'), ':xx') WHERE `username` = 'admin';

1	UPDATE admin_user SET `password` = CONCAT(MD5('xxPASSOWRD_HERE'), ':xx') WHERE `username` = 'admin';

In the above SQL command, replace PASSOWRD_HERE with your new password.

If you don’t know Magento backend URL, you can find it in file app/etc/local.xml

    <admin>
        <routers>
            <adminhtml>
                <args>
                    <frontName><![CDATA[2XwA5Vb6PW]]></frontName>
                </args>
            </adminhtml>
        </routers>
    </admin>

<admin>

<args>

</args>

</adminhtml>

</routers>

</admin>

In this case, Magento backend URL is yourdomain.com/2XwA5Vb6PW
