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
