Someone here just got handed sysadmin on his office MediaWiki. He doesn't have the WikiSysop password - what's the easy way to reset this?
I think there's a maintenance script for resetting passwords ("resetPassword.php" probably - they're pretty unimaginatively named!). There should be instructions in comments at the top of the file - it will need to be run from a shell prompt.
