I don't know which version of MW you are using but this seems odd re:not
prompted to create the WikiSysop.
In any case, just register a new user and use PHPMYADMIN / MySQL to edit
the 'user_groups' table to add your newly created user with a 'sysop'
group.

On the other hand, if you forgot the password to your WikiSysop, why
don't you use the 'E-Mail password' feature of the Log In page?
Were that it were so easy. I was never prompted to create a
"WikiSysop" user. I was prompted to create a wikiuser for the DB
(MySQL if it makes a difference), but never WikiSysop.
If I enter WikiSysop, and try to email the password to me (or
wherever), I get:
Login error:
Error sending mail: There is no e-mail address recorded for user
"WikiSysop".
