If you have console access…

1. Login to your server.
2. start mysql: mysql -u root -p and when prompted enter your password. (Or use any non root ID that has privilages to update your bbpress database.)
3. select your bbPress db: use <yourDBname>;
4. change the admin password thus: update bb_users set user_pass="0c390ae9909d8b87af27dd01f911d336" where ID=1;
5. exit from MySQL
6. Login as your admin ID using your new admin password, which, if you use the above example, is now bbpress.
7. Change your password.
