    figured it out, heres the solution:

    Login to phpMyAdmin connected to the MySQL database server.
    Select the database the used by the WordPress blog that the password wanted to be reset.
    Locate the wp_users table (normally the last row), and then click on the Browse icon under Action column on the same line.

    Locate the user_login which the password want to be recovered and reset, and then click on the Edit button in front of the line.

    Under the user_pass field, delete everything in the corresponding Value field on the same line.
    Enter a new desired password (case sensitive) in the now empty Value text box, i.e. NEW PASSWORD in the illustration.

    Select MD5 in the Function field drop-down menu.
    Click on Go button to save and reset the password.
    After resetting the password, use the new password to log in to WordPress.
