there is no admin panel in Codeigniter, it's something self-written. See the code on ftp, understand how the access check is arranged and log in.

Overwrite the user's password with a new one (see code for creating a user).

Answer 3

Find a database table something like user, and try to change the password for a specific user directly in it.
