Hi Mark,
I've been advised to ask for a new password by a friend of mine, but my mediawiki don't give me that choice (can't remember if I limited that option while installing/configuring my wiki, or if it's just a version problem).
I'm really used to change my password through mysql command line, for many web tools where users are stored in MySQL databases, but while investigating to do so in mw_user table, I just saw password don't have the same format as mysql password for instance. I'm not sure that doing something like "update mw_user set password=PASSWORD('the_password_I_choose') where user_name="Admin";" will allow me to log in... Any advice?
Thanks for this answer anyway. Regards,
Jules

the easiest way is just to log into phpmyadmin (or similar) then go to the mw_users table and change the password field for the relevant accounts. alternatively if you set up emails on the wiki properly you could just get your self a new password sent.
regards

Bonjour,
J'ai un souci avec mon wiki: L'installation date d'il y a quelques mois, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de travailler dessus depuis, et je n'ai noté nulle part les mots de passe admin ou utilisateurs. Je me demandais s'il existe une procédure officielle pour récupérer ces mots de passe, ou s'il est possible de connaitre le format des mots de passe afin de les modifier directement sans mysql. Merci d'avance.

Hi,
I'm in trouble with my wiki: I installed mediawiki a few months ago, I since didn't have time to work
on
it, and I never wrote down my admin or users passwords. I wonder if I could find a "howto" to recover thoses passwords, or if
it's
possible to know mediawiki password format so that I can change it with a mysql query. Thanks by advance.
