The admin users are stored in the 'access' table,
<catroot>/products/access.asc. As you say, they are stored encrypted.

If you wanted to replace the password, Mike Heins posted a small script some
considerable time ago to generate a new one using the crypt function which
you could then paste into the file. See

Alternatively, build a new catalog.
