In short follow this short instruction:
1. Open the setting.inc.php (located in config folder)
2. Copy the _COOKIE_KEY_ value, I believed this is unique to your installation
3. Goto PHPMyAdmin, locate the ps_employee table, click on SQL tab
4. Inside of the SQL query box enter the code below with the _COOKIE_KEY_ you copied from step 2.
CODE:
UPDATE ps_employee SET passwd=md5("your md5 from the COOKIE_KEYnewpassword") WHERE email="your email login"

5. click GO
6. Login to your Prestashop admin.
