If you want to do it via a Query here is the query to run:

UPDATE admin_user SET password=CONCAT(MD5('qXpassword'), ':qX') WHERE username='admin';

the resulting password would be 'password', qX is the salt you could use any 2 letter combo..

UPDATE admin_user SET password=CONCAT(MD5('bL123456'), ':bL') WHERE username='admin';

would make the password 123456 ...

You forgot to add save().

Mage::getModel('admin/user')
     ->loadByUsername('admin')
     ->setPassword($password)
     ->save();
