Dear Teammates,
I am looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Resetting_passwords and would like to use Special:PasswordReset.
I have set the following property in LocalSettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ]['passwordreset'] = true;
Also I am a sysop, and I am logged in. However, when the form comes up, it does not put up the input box where I can type in the user's email. It's MediaWiki 1.22.8.
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong ? thanks, Lori
Hi please upgrade to MediaWiki 1.24.1.

Do you mean that the Username box isn't presented? You use the Username to reset passwords, not the Email. If you know the Email address only, you have to query the database to find the associated Username.

You need to set `$wgPasswordResetRoutes['email'] = true;` first to be able to trigger password reset by email rather than by username.

(No need to update MediaWiki for this.)
