users' credentials are stored in the database.
you can change them in users table of the database.

SQL query can be like below for changing password of user with user id as 1
UPDATE mybb_users SET password = 'requiredPassword', salt = '' WHERE uid = '1';

admin panel PIN is stored in config.php file [in inc folder]

I tried
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = 'X'
and it says no database selected

on the left column, click on database name (chil4065_bb) and then on right side click on SQL tab
then you can execute above given SQL query
UPDATE mybb_users SET password = 'requiredNewPassword', salt = '' WHERE uid = '1';

hmm., change it like below & try it again
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = 'requiredNewPassword', salt = '' WHERE uid = '1';
note : using back-tick mark (`) for table name, keywords
single quote mark is used for values on right side of =

I tried it says [Image: dot.gif] #1046 - No database selected
Should I make a database called mybb-users?

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by

I'm quite nooby

for "No database selected" , see above post #4

copy & paste below code as is for SQL query
only change 'requiredNewPassword' after pasting into SQL box

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = 'requiredNewPassword', salt = '' WHERE `uid` = '1';

Still getting no database selected

I copy pasted it in the SQL query box and changed requirednewpassword

Should I make a database called mybb-users? There is none

"mybb_users" is a table of your forum's database.

would you like to PM me temporary access to your web host panel to check it
later you can change your login password
