lost admin password

I either lost the admin password or never set one. In the mySql, I can see what looks like an encrypted password, but can't get my password to work.

If I type "admin" and enter no password I go to the calendar, but am not logged in. The same with clicking the "Guest Account" link. Any other combination displays "Wrong Username/Password"

Can I reset the admin password somehow?

or is this likely the http proxy/cookie problem listed in the FAQ?

Thanks for any help.

You can reset the admin password in the DB by executing the following SQL:

update thyme_Users set pass = md5('newpassword') where id = 1;

(assuming thyme_ is the table prefix you chose during setup)
Let me know if you have any trouble. What you've described does not sound like a cookie problem.
