I gave my client the admin account to his wordpress install and I forgot to add an administrator user for myself. Now, I can no longer access the admin panel because they have changed their password. I have direct access to the database and was wondering if I could inject a new admin user via SQL?

Ask the client to add an admin account for you? Why do you need to inject data if you are permitted to access this site's database, or you own the server.– t31osNov 29, 2011 at 14:44

As I mentioned, I don't want to bother my client. Also, by "inject" I meant writing SQL directly to the DB.– Brian WiggintonNov 29, 2011 at 22:32

Pretty easy to do from phpMyadmin. I've used this tutorial before successfully.
