Hi,

You can do the following to restart your admin password for Drupal on Linux or OS X:

$ cd installation_directory
$ ./use_drupal
$ mysql -u root -p (use the same password that phpMyAdmin or the same that you set during the installation)
mysql> use bitnami_drupal6;
mysql> update users set pass=md5(‘NEW_PASSWORD’) where uid = 1;
mysql> exit;

If you have installed Drupal on Windows you should follow these steps:

1. Go to Start → Programs → BitNami Drupal → Use drupal

> mysql -u root -p (use the same password that phpMyAdmin or the same that you set during the installation)
mysql> use bitnami_drupal6;
mysql> update users set pass=md5(‘NEW_PASSWORD’) where uid = 1;
mysql> exit;

Try to login in the application using “user” and password the new that you set. I hope it helps.
