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.
see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PasswordReset and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_reset_a_password.3F

And if that doesn't work, you can always modify the email address for the account in the back end database and have the wiki email you a new password
