I changed my password due some hacking attempts that I was able to accurately track. The problem is that I wil admit, I made a stupid mistake and didn't make a note of the new password. For some reason, in my Godaddy Hosting Connection, it does not show that DNN is installed on this site, and it is an older version (about two years), the other DNN site that I have is showing the the Hosting Connection. Are the passwords stored in the Database somewhere?

 Thanks, Jeff...

 They are stored in the aspnet_Membership table, but you won't be able to decrypt it.

The trick is to either create a new user and remember that password or use another existing user that you know the password to and then use the password AND passwordsalt fields and overwrite your host password (and passwordsalt) in this table.

Ok, I'll give that a shot. I did log in as Admin and was able to do the editing that I needed to do. I'll try to follow the process that you listed and let you know how it went.

 Thanks, Jeff...

I've described the procedure to regain host access here.
