Decrypt password in phpmyadmin with strange type

Good day! I have a quite strange problem. I have installed joomla on one of my websites about 7 months ago and completely forgot my password. Easy to find out right? So i logged into php myadmin in order to decrypt it with md5decrypter and my password is something like or to be more precise exactly this ffeb0b0d7b626671abc1c63a65239368:8tRMglEvI81jDHydqR5eufCRQy4TPJtS

Ive never encountered something like that and dont know which format is it. Can anyone help ?

For future reference if you have forgotten your Joomla! admin password there is a tool available from the Joomla! Extension Directory that makes the process simple.

the best way is:
1. make a new user
2. set password for new user
3. go to phpmyadmin and copy new user hashed password and paste in admin
4. login with admin and new user password!

if you cannot create new user you can install new joomla(in localhost or server)
