Did you try to force-refresh (Ctrl+F5 in IE, Shift+F5 in Mozilla)? -- #define Name RotemLiss #define Mail mailSTRUDELrotemlissDOTcom #define Site www.rotemliss.com _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

However, if you want to reset a password, I **think** you can create MD5 key to the new password, then apply it in some field in the user table. I'm not sure it will work, so be careful.

MD5 I've just been trawling through the source and come up with the following: In LocalSettings.php you need to add the line: $wgPasswordSalt = false; Then run the following on the database: UPDATE user SET user_password=MD5('the_new_password') WHERE user_name='the_user'; You should then be able to log in via the username and new password. Don't forget to remove the added line from LocalSettings.php once done with.

on, how should i run it on the database? I'm assuming here that you are running the wiki on your own server, not hosted. windows->run and type cmd if on windows) run the command: mysql --user=your_database_username -p and type in your password when prompted. Type: use wiki; <enter> Again, I'm assuming that you're running it under MySQL. Depending on how you installed it, you may have to change bits. The username is what you put as $wgDBuser in LocalSettings.php, password is $wgDBpassword and for the "use wiki;" command, change wiki to your $wgDBname if different. If $wgDBprefix is not "", you'll need to change the SQL command to UPDATE prefix_user ... where "prefix_" is as in LocalSettings.php If you aren't on your own server but on hosted, you should have access to your database, perhaps via phpMySql? Beyond this I can't really help as it's too specific to you. --Rob ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
