    I have not tested it, but it should be possible, setting the type to SHA1

    Hello,

    in Which table I can find passwords of admin(s) and the user(s).
    I am experimenting with it and I will write small how to afterwards. I have had that issue when the parents or people with disabilities themselves sometimes loose and forget admin password.

    Thanks,

    Vedran

    Those are tables AT_admins and AT_members. You can edit a record and put whichever password you want into a field named "password", but before saving be sure to select "SHA1" from the dropdown box in Function column.
    Also, make sure that all fields of timestamp type have that dropdown box empty.

    See the attached screenshot.

    One more thing: actually, you shouldn't need to use phpMyAdmin for that if you're an admin in that installation.
    Admins/superadmins can reset users' and other admins' passwords from within ATutor (Users tab).

    Hello,

    I know that it is possible to do that through ATutor admin part. I am thinking about possible scenario when person with disability loose or forget password on her/his standalone desktop computer.
    THus, there must be a way how to change it and do that through phpmyadmin part.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    I already wrote a short manual on Serbian language how to do that. I will write it on English too.
