I managed to get drupal working , I found the drupal web page with its logo and login forms and a link called primary and secondary links. i logged on as admin and drupal generated a password for me. i am excited and forget to remember the password. Besides, i am working on local host . what shall I do to get that admin right.
thankx.

Drupal can send a new password, if you request it on the login screen.

Failing that, search the handbook for reset admin password. If you control the box, you can always reset the password. Other ways, if another account has admin users, then you can change the apssword there as well.

if you know how to use phpmyadmin, just edit the password of the user with uid 1 to whatever you want... Remember to apply MD5

sample sql:
update users set uid = MD5("newpassword");

Sample 2:
select * from users where uid = 1

Now edit the password, and set operation to apply MD5
