[opencms-dev] problem changein Admin password

[Mathias Lin | SYSVISION]

The sql statement doesn't work because the password are stored encrypted.
You need to encrypt them:
md5('some_password')

Which encryption is being used - you can see in opencms-system.xml, which is
md5 by default.

    <passwordhandler class="org.opencms.security.CmsDefaultPasswordHandler">
      <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
      <digest-type>MD5</digest-type>
