Reseting admin password through PHPMyadmin fails

Following the PHPMyAdmin instructions of this article fails to reset my password properly.

I go into WP_Users, find my admin account, click edit, enter my password, change the dropdown to MD5, click save, but this password does not work when I try to login to WP-Admin with this username.

Confused.
