Hi, all,

When we first launched our wiki, I had users create their own accounts. I set 
an account, Wikiadmin, as a Bureaucrat and Sysop. Then, I implemented the LDAP 
login. Problem is, I can't remember that Wikiadmin account password now, and 
none of the password reset methods (using the changePassword.php script or 
directly editing it in MySQL) will work. The user Wikiadmin does not exist in 
our LDAP/AD environment-although we could create it-and stupidly, it was the 
only account to which I gave elevated permissions before setting up LDAP.

The only thing I can think of to try is to take off LDAP authentication 
temporarily, reset the Wikiadmin password, and then put LDAP back. I'm nervous 
about causing harm by doing this; thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Nina
