Hello I was trying to change a user password and now that users pass is not working mw: 1.13rc1 mysql: 5

i ran: UPDATE user SET user_password = MD5(CONCAT(user_id, '6', MD5('test'))) WHERE user_name = 'Testuser'; in a mysql commandline. which said that 1 field was updated. However now

i can't login with the new or old password. What can i do?

Thanks, Matt

I was unsuccessful upgrading to 1.12 from 1.9.3 and ended up doing a clean install. I have a MySQL dump of the 1.9.3 database. Can I import it into 1.12?

You can load the tables into the MySQL database and then run the update.php script in the maintenance directory (info in the file UPGRADE you'll find in the wiki's root directory). Delete the v1.12 tables first to avoid problems.
