Password reset not working

[Mina-mt]

Hi,
I have an old website I forgot the admin password I tried resetting a new one, I tried two methods, I changed the password from the users table using MD5, I added the user to the Super user group in the groups table but when I log in it says that the username doesn't correspond to the password.
I tried creating another admin account using an SQL query but the same thing happens I can't login same message
Can anyone help me with this?

What version of Joomla. MD5 was abandoned a long time ago.

The Joomla version is 3.7.2

3.7.2 was also EOL long ago. 8 years ago in fact. Surely you haven't been locked out of your Joomla site for 8 years?

I don't know the encryption method these days - bcrypt or SHA-256 or SHA-512.

I don't know if the website owner was locked out for 8 years, if it was my website I wouldn't leave it without updates, and for the encryption methods you mentioned they aren't available on phpmyadmin I tried SHA1 and also didn't work

Where do I put it and which encryption?

copy and paste this into phpmyadmin it is the encrypted password for "password" i.e. password is password.Once you login change the password to one of your choice.

Same thing I can't access it tells me "Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet."
