I have installed mediawiki on our intranet server. It works wonderfully!!! Thank you!
Now, on to the problem. When I initially installed the wiki, users were receiving emails without any problems. Then, over time, the emails stopped. Now, I have a user that cannot remember her password and I cannot get her logged in. What can I do to fix either or box of the problems?
Thank you

Not to my knowledge. I checked with my network administrator and he was pulling his hair out as well. I have a feeling that it is something on the Lynux box as I am not seeing any messages on my internal email server or on the spam filter.

Any idea what's changed? Have you upgraded anything, for example?

Yeah, it sounds like a problem with your operating system, rather than MediaWiki - you would be better off asking for help from experts on your system.
Is there a way to change the user's password...or delete it so that they can log back into the system and reset their password?

Do I modify the php to include the user information or do I pass variables to the script? Either way, what is the variable dbw?

I actually found an sql statement that will change the user password for me...Thank you GOOGLE.
Thank you to those who were sending me the right direction.
UPDATE user SET user_password = MD5(CONCAT(user_id, '-', MD5('somepass'))) WHERE user_name = 'whatever';
