in joomla! 2.5, 2 tables involved namely jos_users , jos_user_usergroup_map.

review of document http://docs.joomla.org/how_do_you_recover_your_admin_password%3f of in understanding how add rows in appropriate tables.

be informed table jos_usergroups contains list of defined groups such registered, author, superuser, , forth. id table appropriate group id.

note: database use joomla! may not have table prefix jos_. change table prefix 1 used in joomla! database.
