I recently setup several wordpress blogs on domain names that i wasnt using to get them in the public domain and indexed by the search engines. After you install the new wordpress it automatically gives you a random generated password and if you dont write it down you will struggle to login to admin control panel.

When you go into the mysql database and go to members  you’ll notice your username is “admin” and the password is encrypted. If you type in a new password into the password field i.e “admin” you still wont be able to login.

What you need to do is go to the password field change the encryption to md5 and enter a password i.e”admin” then what it will do is encrypt the password to md5 format and you will be able to login.

I hope this helped
