If you're running Drupal 7, using md5 won't work as passwords are salted. However, if you have drush 4.x, you can use the user-password command:

drush user-password someuser --password="gr3@tP@$s"

Just a note here: for those who fear carpal tunnel. `drush upwd someuser --password="gr3@tP@$s"` – General Redneck Mar 23 '13 at 14:28

Yes. Here's an example for resetting the password of the Drupal admin user given that you know the UserID (uid):

drush sqlq "update {users} set pass=md5('new_password_here') where uid=1"
