no you shouldn't. what you should do is have your application create a new password and send it to you.

now is this a user/password to log directly into mysql as a mysql user or is this a login/password to get into your website or other application?

the difference is in the first case you should use the PASSWORD function in mysql to hash the password, in the latter you should use SHA1 to hash them.
