How do I reset admin password?

[Larhendiel]

Happened to me as well. I have no recovery email and no password. I do have ftp access and database access, but how do I reset my password?

I tried pasting things like the one below but it didn't help. Chat GPT isclueless too, please help, processwire is version 3

$temp = $users->get('admin');
$temp->of(false);
$temp->pass = 'newPass23';
$temp->save();

On my latest PW installation the login was suddenly not possible anymore. I tried to to follow both instructions, but it didn't solve the issue. 

At the end I had to fully re-install PW. 

Just as a note: bot codes above are working only once. On every call the password has to be changed.
