      Assuming you have PHPMyAdmin or something similar.
      Open your Modx database with said application.
      Go to the table modx_manager_users
      Edit record id 1
      Username = admin
      Password = e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e
      Save record
      Exit database application
      Go to Modx Manager login
      Username = admin.
      Password = 123456.
