Is there any reason why you could not use phpMyAdmin now? Wordpress have nice info on how you can reset admin password: https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password, you just need to pick what solution you want to apply.

You can use phpMyAdmin with Virtualmin, is there any reason why you cant use it?
Virtualmin -> Virtual server/domain -> Install scripts -> Install phpMyAdmin

The person I paid to install move my site from cpanel to virtualmin did not use it. Anyway thanks for the information. I was reluctant to use the emergency php script but that did the trick.

I really prefer working directly in the db as I can see what I am doing.
