Hmm.. it might be more simple to just delete the user out of that table and create it again.
DON'T DO THAT!
The user id is used as a foreign key in other tables. Mediawiki kind of depends on User records being permanent.
On a work-wiki an old user has been deleted with no ill-effect.. but I'll stop this from happening. =)
I think the easiest thing is to temporarily enable emailing and then get the password emailed.. so we're not doing anything too crazy.
I'll go hunt through the bugzilla to check for / vote on a feature for admins (or beaurocrats?) to be able to reset passwords.
