Administration Joomla! 5.x • Re: Unable to enter as administrator

MD5 encryption should work...the topic here viewtopic.php?t=980013 may provide some answers.

Did you follow the method 2 as found here: https://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_reco ... assword%3F

But that's not the only matter. Your site has a database connection problem which is strange, if you managed to try to change the password in the database. That suggests MySQL (phpMYAdmin) is working.... but for some reason, its connection with Joomla 5.1 is not.

Database Supports J! 5.1.0: Unknown | Database Credentials Present: Yes |
Database Configuration :: Connection Error: User Privileges : Unknown

Double check the database details - the database 'user' and database user's password (separate details to Joomla administrator) and check the user privileges on the database. These are settings in your hosting account web host manager like cPanel or similar (or, if as it seems, you're running your own server, then in the database config file(s)).

I'm not sure why it is not working or for that matter not giving feedback even to say "incorrect password".

Some (perhaps slightly) off-topic issues I've also noticed:

Max. Upload Size: 20M | Max. POST Size: 8M | Max. Input Time: 60 | Max. Execution Time: 30 | Memory Limit: 128M

Max Post Size (8M) should be greater or equal to Max Upload Size (20M). Make both 20M or more.
Memory limit 128M may be too little for Joomla 5. Raise this to 256M or 512M
