1) using “forgot password” standard ability. Please be noticed there is a bug for wordpress 2.5.x - please read the following article (it is in russian but you would see code snippets and would understand idea) http://mike.nov.ru/2008/05/06/wordpress-restore-password-invalid-key/

2) in phpmyadmin, in table wp_users choose interested user and then edit record. For the field “user_pass” choose function MD5 and in the value column provide new password. I like this method.

3) the same as second item, but just modifying user_pass to the 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 - this is for the password “admin”. Later in the admin panel of wordpress you would be able to change password.
