Its may not be good practice but I am suggesting just for ur convenience now . Copy any known encrypted password from other test database or working database and using that ,update users table for admin user and try to login.

Hi,

Go to users table using PHPMYADMIN.

Edit user 1 admin row.

Select function as MD5 and give plain text password and then save it to update password.

Hi,
Your password is stored in an encrypted state in the database - that's why it's not possible to have it mailed to you. If you have not been sucessful in requesting a new password, using the normal password reset route, then you may need to reset the password manually, in the database. This is already well documented at https://drupal.org/node/44164
