Open Cart Administrator Password Reset tool

Want something similar in a vQmod? Check this thread out
After seeing a thread earlier asking how to reset their admin password I thought I'd create a little app that hopefully will be useful when people get stuck. It's taken from my Wordpress admin reset file I made a while back, with just a few tweaks to allow resetting OC passwords - It's actually taken me more time to write this post than to code it
Instructions for use
1. Either download the file here or copy the source code below and save it to a file called ocreset.php in your store's directory (The same one as the .htaccess/.htaccess.txt file)
2. Run the file through your browser by visiting your site's store address followed by ocreset.php, so for a localhost in a directory called shop it would be - for your domain in the root directory just use
3. You should now see a screen with the following on it, and in the dropdown should be a list of your site administrators
4. Select your administrator name you want to reset, type your password in the password field and click "Change Password"
5. If all went well a message should appear at the top of the screen with where admin is the name of the user you've just reset
6. Once you've reset your password MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE OCRESET.PHP FILE from your server, to avoid anyone gaining unauthorised access to your store
For those interested, here's the source code with commenting. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement or bugs please let me know
