Hi Mark,
I've been advised to ask for a new password by a friend of mine, but my
mediawiki don't give me that choice (can't remember if I limited that option
while installing/configuring my wiki, or if it's just a version problem).
I'm really used to change my password through mysql command line, for many
web tools where users are stored in MySQL databases, but while investigating
to do so in mw_user table, I just saw password don't have the same format as
mysql password for instance. I'm not sure that doing something like "update
mw_user set password=PASSWORD('the_password_I_choose') where
user_name="Admin";" will allow me to log in... Any advice?
Thanks for this answer anyway.
Regards,
Jules

the easiest way is just to log into phpmyadmin (or
similar) then go to the
mw_users table and change the password field for the relevant accounts.
alternatively if you set up emails on the wiki properly you could just get
your self a new password sent.
regards

Bonjour,
J'ai un souci avec mon wiki:
L'installation date d'il y a quelques mois, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de
travailler dessus depuis, et je n'ai noté nulle part les mots de passe
admin
ou utilisateurs.
Je me demandais s'il existe une procédure officielle pour récupérer ces
mots
de passe, ou s'il est possible de connaitre le format des mots de passe
afin
de les modifier directement sans mysql.
Merci d'avance.

Hi,
I'm in trouble with my wiki:
I installed mediawiki a few months ago, I since didn't have time to work
on
it, and I never wrote down my admin or users
passwords.
I wonder if I could find a "howto" to recover thoses passwords, or if
it's
possible to know mediawiki password format so
that I can change it with a
mysql query.
Thanks by advance.
Julien
