Hmm. I could understand how the password wouldn't be accepted (MediaWiki uses more than a straight MD5 of the text for its hash) but not how the user wouldn't be found.
The user's ID field's been filled in with a value? Other users can be found?

Hi,
I added several rows to the user table. The following fields were populated:
user_name, user_password, user_newpassword, user_real_name, and user_email.
When I try to log in MediaWiki using one of the user names, I receive the message:
There is no user by the name "Pritchie". Check your spelling, or use the form below to create a new user account.
But the "Pritchie" (user_name column value) exists in the user table.
What should I do please?
Thank you,
Piyush
