Hi, all, I am going crazy trying to reset the password for my only administrative user! :( I took the LDAP authentication method that we had in place off-thanks to Ryan and Christine for their advice on this-and then tried to use the "email password" option on the wiki login screen (as the user name "Wikiadmin" doesn't exist in LDAP), and there is no email address associated with the user! (Fail!!!)
I've tried these methods: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_reset_a_password.3F ...and the php method gives the error that it can't open the file, and the MySQL methods result in syntax errors. There is no setting for $wgPasswordSalt in my LocalSettings.php file; could this be why the MySQL method is failing? Any other ideas? Would the Password Reset extension help? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Password_Reset Or, can I associate my email address with the Wikiadmin user directly in the user table in MySQL? Thanks in advance, Nina _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
