Can’t log in.

I have installed wordpress site on a lemp stack and attempted to restore a site that had been backed up by updraftplus in dropbox. I installed the updraft plus and began the restoration which got as far as restoring the database and then gave me the message that I had been logged out and had to log in again. Unfortunately, the password has been changed, corrupted or otherwise lost and I can no longer access wordpress. And since I am the host and administrator, and the server is in my basement, there is no one else to ask.

I tried the reset my password option, but it didn’t recognize my email.

I looked in the mysql database and found two usernames for my site’s database, neither of which I entered. The passwords are, of course encrypted, so I can’t read them.

Is there anyway of resetting my username and password? If I have to go through mysql to do it, how do I manage the password encryption, or can I ignore that?

I really don’t want to go through the installation process all over again. so any help would be greatly appreciated.
