I think what you can do is take an md5 of a string concatenated with the password salt which is defined in the config.php and paste it into the password field for your admin user, using a sql manager tool.
something like
md5 -s mypassword&R^F^&F^7FD8saltkey78f789ds
it will spit out a value which looks like
6217fbfde7e7034857b58ed27e947afe
you pop that in your database, and hopefully you should be able to log on.

What version of Moodle? If version 2, there is a command line utility that will do just that in moodlecode/admin/cli/ called reset_password.php.
To run: php reset_password.php from terminal prompt. Opening that file in a text editor will show comments contained therein.
