After setup local WordPress environment, WordPress will generate a password for admin logon. The password is so strong that forget the password can easily happen. The easiest way to get admin password back is reset it again in database.
Here is the SQL command that will do it:
UPDATE ‘wp_users’ SET ‘user_pass’ = MD5(‘PASSWORD‘) WHERE ‘user_login’ =’admin’ LIMIT 1;
Note you need update red PASSWORD to the real password you want reset.

Sometimes I need to unzip MSI file to view its content without actual installing it. I used to use a 3rd party tool named 7zip to extract MSI. Today I discover there is much easier way to do this with windows build in tool msiexec.exe
The use msiexec to uncompress MSI file, you need to open a command line and run type following:
msiexec /a <YourPackageFullPath> TARGETDIR=<ExtractedMSIFullPath>
Replace <YourPackageFullPath> with full path of MSI file, <ExtractedMSIFullPath> with the target folder you want MSI files to be extracted to.
For example, to extract c:\setup.msi, run following command:
msiexec /a c:\setup.msi TARGETDIR=c:\ExtractedMSI
The uncompressed setup.msi and all files along with fold structures will be extracted into c:\ExtractedMSI
Note: For Vista/Win7 with UAC turn on, the above command needs to be run from elevated command prompt.
