Magento admin user password change and how to add salt in magento admin user password

I hv come cross with a problem of magento admin user password change, each article which i find was copy, paste of other.

Everyone just say add salt to your password, no one was explaining where i can find this salt, how to use this salt.

first try to look into user database and try to copy your salt. which can be find in your ‘admin_user(mysql table) -> password (table field)’ after ‘:’

1. click on ‘Edit’ and paste you copied salt and enter your desire password like ‘saltadmin123’ where ‘salt’ can be ’10’, ‘g1’…..etc, select ‘MD5’ from formula dropdown save it

2. again click on edit and in paste you salt again after entering ‘:’ after your password.

3. so complete formula is MD5(saltpassword):salt
