NOT WORKING YET.
When I reset the password as you previously suggested, both the digest_algorith
and salt fields get cleared. Then they are repopulated after attempting to
login just as you said. This does not however solve the login problem. Am not
actually getting an error when i attempt to login. The login just doesnt happen
and i am redirected to the home page. Still pondering on the next possible
solution.
Thanks in advance.

That is normal. The default hash function changed from MD5 to SHA-512
in DSpace 3.
There is a migration mechanism in DSpace 3, so the MD5 hash will still
work (if salt=NULL and digest_algorithm=NULL, which tells DSpace this
is the legacy MD5 password) and on your next login will be replaced
with the SHA-512 hash. Therefore you can still do this to recover your
password:
UPDATE eperson SET password=md5('yourpassword'), salt=NULL,
digest_algorithm=NULL where email='ad...@example.com';
even if Postgres doesn't have a built-in function for SHA-512. DSpace
will re-hash it the next time you log in.
