Yes, I saw that but still cannot get it to work. We do not want to allow users to use email, and the wiki users have no access to the server itself (so can't use the command line). But the document says: ================================= Use Special:PasswordReset Special:PasswordReset allows accounts with the 'passwordreset' permission to reset account passwords for the local installation of MediaWiki. ================================= I set the relevant permission on my sysop/administrator account, but didn't see the special page. Even setting all the email permissions, it still didn't appear.
