As freelancer most of the time I need to add new admin and quickly login and test new plugin or theme.

I use addnewadmin script. hecode.com/addnewadmin

Simply copy the addnewadmin.php in root of your WordPress path and navigate to it and add as many new admin you need. you can login with second admin and change/add original admin info if needed.

FYI – similar tricks work on Drupal mysql databases. While the tables will have different names from wordpress for obvious reasons. In drupal’s case you would just edit the password to something simple, logon then change it to what you want.
